Looks like the racist commission is having a tough time creating their racist districts. Why don't they just follow the law as we all voted for? Arizona is 3/4 White so why should minorities be assured 1/3 of the districts go to minority candidates? Shouldn't they be trying for something around 7 or 8 districts out of 30? It's so obvious this isn't a interdependent commission. This commission is exactly what the new law was meant to stop. Gerrymandering districts to favor a particular party. It's so obvious it's laughable.

spell checker failure. Interdependent should read independent.

Its time to change the federal law that was put in place by the democrats while they were in power. People vote or they do not vote. There should not be any geographical lines drawn according race with the racial mix we have these days.
