ROLC Celebrates CT Senate Legislation Abolishing Prison Gerrymandering
The Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic at Yale Law School celebrated the historic and bipartisan passage of legislation to abolish prison gerrymandering by the Connecticut State Senate on May 5, 2021. The clinic has worked for months representing the Connecticut State Conference of the NAACP (NAACP CT) and the ACLU of Connecticut (ACLU CT) in efforts to end the practice through the passage of new legislation.
The Senate passed the legislation, S.B. 753, by a near unanimous vote of 35-1. The bill now awaits action by the House, where Speaker Matt Ritter will determine whether and when to bring S.B. 753 to a floor vote.
The City Attorney’s Office gave its first public presentation to the council about the complexities of the ongoing federal case, which immediately stopped Virginia Beach from using its current voting system.

The Senate on Tuesday took up the For the People Act, a sweeping bill to overhaul the country’s election system, the first step in what will probably be a long and winding legislative process. Democrats are faced with not only the all-out resistance of Republicans, but also the hesitation of their own 50th vote, Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, the lone Democrat in the chamber who hasn’t signed on as a sponsor of the bill.
The Federal Elections Commission fined the Wyoming Republican Party $52,000 for a campaign finance violation stemming from former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to campaign finance records and interviews with party officials.
