New Hampshire Congressional redistricting nonsense.

House Special Committee on Redistricting hearing and executive session on SB202, reapportioning congressional districts. April 3, 2012

Sen. Russell Prescott stonewalls when questioned as to why the bill was drafted as it was and what influence incumbent US Reps had on the process.

At 6:44, video of the hearing ends and video of the executive session (abruptly) begins.

During the executive session, Rep. Vaillancourt excoriates the Senate for producing the bill.

The vote is 11-5 in favor of the bill, with all Republicans save Vaillancourt supporting it, and Vaillancourt and all Democrats opposing it.

Numerous representative substitutions were made on the committee by both parties. Unsurprisingly, Rep. Kappler was one of these, as he is apparently regarded as being willing to go anywhere and do anything the Speaker asks of him without question.
