Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Threatens To Impeach Redistricting Commissioners

Posted: 11/1/11 07:09 PM ET

WASHINGTON -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer may call the state Legislature into a special session as soon as Tuesday to impeach one or more members of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.

In a Saturday letter to Collen Mathis, chair of the commission, Brewer expressed her concerns over the proposed redistricting map. The Republican governor wrote that the draft map "does a disservice to Arizona because it fails to recognize the important and distinct rural population in Arizona and the respective communities of interest."

Brewer criticized the level of emphasis on creating competitive districts. "I believe the also violated the Arizona Constitution by elevating 'competitiveness' above the other goals, especially in relation to the proposed District 9 and the other districts in Maricopa County," she wrote.

3. Don't fail to read this paragraph...
"Governor Brewer's power grab is a clear abuse of the powers of her office," said Andrei Cherny, party chair, in a statement. "The voters created the Independent Redistricting Commission to keep politicians away from these decisions and so people could have a voice. The volunteer commissioners have drawn maps with bipartisan support that make small steps in giving independents more of a say. Their only crime is not kowtowing to Republican leaders."
