The NM Legislature, especially the Senate, should be ashamed of their use of race to cover up their attempts
at protection of incumbents.
Senate Democrats used it as a cover for the incumbent protection district manipulation that was done in the Democratic caucus
       One thing that was never mentioned in the Senate debate was that CRC Senate concept maps A-1 and C-1 both had Native American consensus.
       It was implied on the Senate & House floor that one of the reasons for changing the CRC map was to include Native American consensus.
     Senate Republicans used it to criticize the Democrats when they were really concerned about the pairing of 2 Republican Senators.

This is a dangerous tactic and adds to the already divisive sentiments in the country and the state. Senators of both sides should be held accountable.
