Save American Democracy Act
This bill prevents states from redrawing congressional district maps more than once per decade. It prohibits states from changing district boundaries after their initial post-2020 census redistricting until the next census, unless a court orders it or state law specifically requires it. The law directly affects all states responsible for creating congressional maps, aiming to limit frequent redistricting cycles. It applies to all redistricting occurring after the 2020 census. The bill does not alter how states conduct elections for state or local offices.
