Redistricting Petition Popular

October 31st, 2007 | Category: Florida Politics Blog

The redistricting petition gathering process has been going well, according to an e-mail Buzz got forwarded from Ellen Freidin, a Miami-based lawyer and activist with Floridians for Fair Elections, who’s heading up a poll initiative to prevent districts from being drawn to favor an "incumbent or political party."

"The great news is that after only

three weeks of signature collection, we are about a third of the way towards collecting the signatures needed to trigger court review. Collection is going much faster than expected and barring unexpected problems, we should be able to total that phase before the end of the year," Freidin wrote to supporters.
