Despite gavels falling in the Iowa Statehouse last week, that won’t be the last time the legislature will convene in the year 2021.

Hite and Rozenboom both say Iowa has a unique system that appropriates voters through the Legislative Services Agency and subsequent votes by lawmakers to approve or deny maps drawn by the non-partisan group.
