Text: [¶ 13] The Court heard from a number of people, including current legislators, regarding a request to include the Town of Lebanon in the same district as the Town of Sanford. [3] In order to achieve population parity, however, the suggested revision changed the configuration of more than just Districts 2 and 3. Ultimately, it affected Districts 2, 3, 4, and 5 creating substantial changes in those districts. [¶ 14] The Court therefore attempted to address the request without causing a ripple effect into other districts. Notwithstanding the Court's efforts, we were not able to accommodate the Lebanon/Sanford request without substantially affecting several other districts in ways that the court determined were not acceptable. Therefore, the Court has declined to accept the suggested changes to the York County districts.
