ADVERTISEMENT Fairness goal, redistricting coordinator says Panel hears Arkansans’ suggestions, complaints about Senate districts by Stephen Simpson | Today at 3:21 a.m. Representatives of the Arkansas Board of Apportionment, in their second redistricting hearing, heard Tuesday evening from several audience members who sought changes to area Senate districts. Betty Dickey, coordinator of the Board of Apportionment and former Arkansas Supreme Court chief justice, told those who attended the hearing held at Arkansas State University in Mountain Home the goal of the committee is to avoid gerrymandering, targeting and preferential treatment of one party or the other. Our goal is to follow the criteria that we are operating under, she said after a comment about redrawing state legislative districts into more sensible shapes. The board s job is to redraw legislative districts every 10 years, using federal census data to ensure each district has roughly the same population.
