GOP figures to veto plans in New Mexico redistricting session
The New Mexico Legislature closed a special session on redistricting with Democrat backed maps sent to Gov. Gary Johnson that Republicans say will be vetoed. Sen. Rod Adair predicts vetoes across the Senate House and state boards, arguing the plans overreach and fail fair representation. Senate leaders defend their plan as addressing growth and population equity, noting the east side may lose a seat. If Johnson vetoes, a court battle could follow.
