Senate plan eyed to keep Navajo majority districts in New Mexico
Albuquerque attorney Stanley Halpin told the Senate Rules Committee the plan should maintain Navajo majorities in two districts in the northwest and protect Dona Ana and Bernalillo counties. He noted over 50,000 Hispanics in Dona Ana’s contiguous precincts and warned the earlier option diluted Hispanic votes by carving Dona Ana into three districts. He said the Dona Ana and Bernalillo allocations and Navajo treatment will be watched for evidence in the litigation.
