Reapportionment
House and Senate District Maps Submitted...Again
After the Supreme Court rejected the first maps supported by the left leaning majority of the Reapportionment Commission, once again the commission submitted partisan House and Senate District maps with Chairman Carrera (U?) leading the left. Here are the new maps submitted to the court Nov 30th:
You must have Google Earth installed to view the following maps. You can type in your address to see in which district you might be should the map be approved.

The vote was drawn along party lines this time as all the Republican commissioners tried to stop the obvious "politically vindictive" nature of the latest maps. The conservative goal from the beginning has been to preserve communities of interest and follow the letter of the law. The left (including Chairman Carrera who has been their leader) has been overtly political. They repeatedly worked from a political goal backward, hoping the supreme court would turn a blind eye to the legal parameters they found inconvenient along the way.
The latest maps have constitutional issues as well but because the architects made more of an effort this time to respect county lines, they are most likely expecting that will be enough to squeak past the guidelines and get approval. There is a pressure of time now so we expect to hear a decision soon and will keep you informed.
