Senate Debates Rushed Redistricting Plan

The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a packed hearing on redistricting, with over seventy attendees. The Houses proposed plan for new congressional district lines has pushed the U.S. House primaries to August eighteenth, causing concern over the cost and logistics. Election officials warn of a potential five million dollar price tag, involving increased pay for poll workers, new ballot cards, and postage. Additionally, local leaders express concerns over how the proposed district lines would split up communities. The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman compares the current timeline to the last redistricting process, which took about two and a half years, but this time, its happening super fast during a special legislative session. The full Senate is expected to start debating the redistricting plan as early as Thursday, making it a unique political moment to watch.
