Judges'' comments
Judge 1: There a many well funded international and US based NGO and advocacy groups already pushing the ideas outlined in this proposal. It would have been helpful to have seen more details on what makes this proposal different.
Judge 2: The proposal would allow minority parties to draw redistricting lines in an effort to reduce gerrymandering and elect more moderate candidates.
The idea of focusing on making legislative and congressional districts more competitive is very appealing for a host of issues, including climate change. The impact of this is why I rated the impact and novelty higher. I think the proposal doesn't focus on the best way to do this (judges could draw district lines, for example, and do in some states). The political feasibility of this proposal is in question, and the link to changing culture around climate change is not completely clear.
