Redistricting plan draws fire in Taos County race
Taos County commissioners held a special meeting to amend a redistricting plan that shifts Taos Pueblo into District I under Commissioner David Fernandez and moves El Prado Precinct 12 to District II, drawing sharp opposition from prospective candidates who accuse political maneuvering. The plan also places Los Cordovas mostly in District I and splits districts within 10 percent voter parity, with Taos Pueblo requesting inclusion in Fernandez’s district. Separately, a January storm impacted Taos with fresh snowfall and multiple jackknifed and overturned semis on state routes.
