The key is to delay implementation until after the 2018 election and win the Governor’s office. Then the Republicans can use their own map.
Just because the legislature and the governor cannot agree (so far) doesn’t mean the courts can step in. The districts should remain the same until there is an agreement. It is the courts that allow the dems to not negotiate.
I agree. Candidates have campaigned under the current lines. Would they have filed/raised and spent money the same way if these lines were in place? If not the plaintiffs should have to reimburse the campaigns.
