The #arleg Senate has reconvened.
So far Ballinger has been at the well yelling, essentially threatening the Senate to pass the Emergency Clause on #SB739. He’s running #SB731.

House is back. #HB1982 is up for a vote. Rep. Speaks is explaining all the changes that have been made. #arpx #arleg #FairMapsAR
Lots of discussion about the impact of #HB1982 and what it will do to communities of color. Remember, the two slivers of Pulaski that are being cut out of the 2nd are 65% and 70% nonwhite.

@tippi31 brings up the fact that it’s been hard for #arleg to keep up with meetings, so to expect the public to do so is not right. #arpx #arnews #FairMapsAR

#HB1982 has passed out of H-State Agencies; remember, the senate companion bill failed today. #arpx #arleg #FairMapsAR
Rep. Beck makes a motion to go back to the original process of ranked choice voting when it comes to maps.
The motion fails.

Sen. Irvin has filed another map #SB744. It has been sent to State Agencies.
#SB743 is up; Sen. English has another amendment for the map… but she can’t explain what the technical corrections are. #arpx #arleg #FairMapsAR
On the House side we’re in State Agencies. #HB1971 is up now with an amendment. Rep. Payton says he plans on voting it down; one because of issues with the map, but two because of the process.

Payton says that the House should not play “Simon Says” with the senate. He says he doesn’t approve of the process in which things have gone today. #arpx #arleg
