  1. It appears to me that the redistricting actually corrected districting that for decades has pretty much guaranteed a Republican one of the three NM House seats. That the 2022 outcome was SO close speaks volumes w/ respect to the actual fairness of the redistricting for House District 2. The 2024 election will be VERY interesting to watch!
