Failure of the Commission

As the 2020 census data was released on August 12th, 2021 the deadline was set to October 11th, 2021. Early in the commission meetings the Democrat and Republican sides both hired partisan map makers and legal advisers. The hiring of partisan map makers created worry they would cause the commission to become too partisan to create a jointly agreed compromise map. This was proved true after it became increasingly clear that the commission wouldn't create a Congressional map within the deadline after it failed to create any progress on a starting draft for the

maps, which it had solely focused on. The failure of the commission was shown even more clearly when on October 7th out of growing frustration from the lack of compromise, 3 Democratic members of the commission walked out, breaking any chance for a last-minute deal. After the walkout no other progress was made and the deadline passed, handing the redistricting process over to the

Following the new rules established by Question 1 the court ordered both Democrats and Republicans to create a list of nominees to be selected as special masters in creating a map. However, after an initial review, the court threw out 1 of the 3 Republican nominees and ordered a replacement as they found past ties to Republican leadership. Once the Republican list was re-submitted the court started reviewing both parties' lists again and picked Sean Trende as the Republican nominee and Bernard Grofman as the Democratic nominee. On December 8th the two special masters had announced the completion of the draft map for the
