A death threat made against the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission delayed Wednesday’s meeting by a couple of hours.
The board was supposed to meet in the early afternoon at the Michigan State University student union.
The commission’s spokesperson says the threat came in over email.
Michigan State University police did not evacuate the union.
The meeting is the first after the commission ended a series of public hearings this week.
This is the sixth day of public hearings on proposed maps.
