Rep. Bryant Clark (D - Pickens) speaks against the Denny map
Rep. Clark: If you vote for this map, you are guaranteeing that someone outside of this body will be drawing the lines. Asks if members are really convinced that the Denny map will pass muster with the courts after wiping out influence districts. Case law says it is fine to draw maps to increase Republican power, but it is not ok to dilute minority voting strength.
