NM Supreme Court orders a racial redistricting plan

Excerpts:

"The court issued a 4-1 split decision that was a victory for Democrats and the Legislature, which had challenged a redistricting plan ordered last month by retired state District Judge James Hall."
"The justices directed Hall to look at changing a Clovis-area district to ensure that Hispanic voters have a strong enough majority to have a good chance of electing the candidate of their choice." Scroll down the page at this link, for the article

In a separate plea: On August 31, 2011, Native American leaders urged lawmakers to maintain the Indian-majority districts. Currently there are six state house and three state senate where Native Americans account for at least 65 percent of the population.
