Senator Mary Duvall of Pierre, Chair of the Senate Redistricting Committee, says the new map is called “Blackbird two point oh one A”……

Representative Richard Vasgaard of Centerville said he opposes the map because of how it redraws districts in southeast South Dakota….

Duvall says no district was drawn as a benefit to any particular legislator….

The committee did not take any votes and will come back for more hearings later Tuesday afternoon.
