On Wednesday, April 15, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued its anxiously-awaited decision rejecting federal constitutional challenges to the validity of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission created by the overwhelming approval of Proposal 18-2, sponsored by Fraser firm client Voters Not Politicians (“VNP”), in the November 2018 general election.

Fraser Trebilcock's election law team of Graham K. Crabtree, Peter D. Houk, Jonathan E. Raven, and Ryan K. Kauffman received a favorable ruling for their client, Voters Not Politicians ("VNP"), from U.S. District Court Judge Janet T. Neff in the pending lawsuits challenging the constitutional validity of Michigan’s new Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

An election law decision by the Michigan Supreme Court gave Fraser Trebilcock client Voters Not Politicians a decisive win, placing their proposal to amend Michigan's State Constitution on the November ballot.
