Love the closing paragraph, apparently 9 out of the 10 House Judiciary Committee did not.
"Our experiment in self-governance is taking a hit these days for a variety of reasons. In New Mexico, allowing the voters to decide whether they prefer redistricting be performed by an independent redistricting commission, or the Legislature will signal to the people of New Mexico and other states that we do indeed care what our voters think. Redistricting is a way to have citizens represented in districts for who they are, not how they vote. Some may think an independent commission is a great idea, others may not, but that decision should be left to the voters, not to any one person or any one group. HJR 1 gives voters the choice. The Legislature should pass HJR 1 and let the voters to decide how they prefer redistricting to be performed."
