This is great news and showed that the AIRC did their job and did it well. Especially considering the political games played by the Republican Party here in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteAre the Congressional Districts perfect? No, but they are as close to perfect as we can hope.
Good job AIRC and thank you DOJ for the pre-clearance!
