The "Old" House Redistrciting Map

Capitol Report New Mexico - It took months but it looks like the redistricting fight is finally over. Sources tell us the 48-hour deadline of 5 p.m. Wednesday (Feb. 29th) for parties to appeal Judge Jim Hall’s final map for the state House of Representatives came and went without any parties — Democrat, Republican or otherwise — filing any paperwork.

Susana Martinez met with reporters and articulated the same feeling. “If either side is in agreement that everything is fine,” Gov. Martinez said, “we’ll live with this map and move forward.”
A Republican analyst told Capitol Report New Mexico, ”it’s not the greatest map in the world and it’s not the map we would have passed had we been in control of the legislature. But it’s as good a map as we could reasonably expect” after the state Supreme Court ordered Judge Hall to go back to the drawing board earlier this month. Read full story here: News New Mexico
