After what must have been extensive secret negotiations, Rs and Ds on the Commission passed a bipartisan map unanimously on Friday the 31st. What this means is that:
- This is the final US Congressional map for elections in 2026, 2028, and 2030. A new map will be drawn after the census in 2030 and redistricting in 2031.
- The map is 12-3 (12 Republican leaning seats and 3 Democratic) but there are a couple of districts where Democratic incumbents might be able to best Republican challengers.
- Because this map was passed by the Commission and not the General Assembly, we cannot gather signatures to mount a referendum challenge against it.
