Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews, who's examining a new map of state Senate districts in Anchorage after he ordered them to be redrawn, said he'll likely render a decision on the map's legality later this week.
Tahnee Conte-Seccareccia, right, helps Juli Lucky, Alaska Redistricting Board public engagement coordinator, hang maps during a board meeting in Anchorage on Nov. 5.
Those residents successfully argued that the board violated the Alaska Constitution by drawing a Senate district that linked south Eagle River and south Muldoon.links south Eagle River with South Anchorage and Girdwood, and the East Anchorage residents who challenged the first map are now challenging the second map, saying it illegally seeks to extend Eagle River’s representation in the Senate.
Voting against both maps were board members Melanie Bahnke, appointed by former Chief Justice Joel Bolger, and Nicole Borromeo, appointed by former House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham. Matt Singer, an attorney representing the redistricting board, said Matthews’ order doesn’t specifically require it.He said he would consider their arguments and render a decision soon, likely later this week.
