[LWVNM Action] NM House has fulfilled its major redistricting responsibilities

[Akkana Peck]

Good to hear!

Which is the map they're still considering for the state senate?
Is that SB2? so the map they're debating is the one that I get
when I go to
https://www.nmlegis.gov/Legislation/Legislation?chamber=S&legType=B&legNo=2&year=21s2
and click on "SENATE - SJC SUB Maps and Date", in other words
https://www.nmlegis.gov/Redistricting2021/Maps_And_Data?ID202=221738.1
?

        ...Akkana
