The goal for lawmakers was to listen to the public on why their preferred version of the state’s congressional map should be adopted. And while just 12 maps are“I believe we have over 100 from as far away as France, so we are processing those as fast as possible,” said co-chair of the reapportionment committee, Rep. Chris Pringle, R-District 101.
