Cold to Judicial Redistricting
SANTA FE, Jan. 24 A rather cold reception has been accorded the proposition for a judicial redistricting of the state creating at least two new divisions. Representative Murray Morgan of Otero may move to remove the Dona Ana Otero Lincoln and Torrance district, though broader changes seem unlikely. If a general bill passes it may include Morgan’s proposed rational changes but the ten district scheme faces strong opposition in the name of economy. Doubt remains on whether many judges are overworked.
