Judges Study Plea On Oklahoma Redistricting Stay

A three judge federal panel in Oklahoma City considers a request by state senators to stay the July 17 reapportionment order. The filing comes from Jim Rinehart of EFL Reno, who represents senators previously appealing to the U S Supreme Court. The court’s plan set equal population for both houses and directs the election board to accept filings for 1964. The seating count remains contested with the Senate constitutionally listed at 44 by the federal court versus 60 by the state supreme court, while appeals to the high court continue. The stay request faces early argued opposition from Delmer Stagner representing reapportionment supporters.
