Here's A Copy Of The East Anchorage Plaintiffs' Motion Challenging The AK Redistricting Board's Amended Plan

 I've read through the motion quickly.  I need to sleep on it. 

Basically it says  the Board continued with its unconstitutional gerrymandering by not pairing the two Eagle River districts as ordered.  The new plan still results in Eagle River getting two Senate seats.  It argues that the Board majority is mocking the judge by disobeying his order.  The motion emphasizes this contempt by reminding the judge that Board chair John Binkley voted against the other change - the Cantwell cutout, saying he believed the Court's decision was wrong.  

"Board Chair Binkley’s acknowledgement of the court order regarding the “Cantwell Appendage” and then his express refusal to vote in compliance with that order was extremely concerning."

It also mentions that once again the overwhelming public testimony was for Option 2.  Footnote 13 elaborates:

"See Exhibit A attached hereto, all written comments submitted in favor of pairing the two Eagle River house districts together. These comments total 206. But see Exhibit B, all written comments submitted in support of fragmenting the Eagle River community of interest, totaling 111. The majority of comments in support of fragmenting the Eagle River community of interest appear to have been submitted in response to an April 6, 2022 publication by Must Read Alaska blogger Suzanne Downing entitled 'Conservatives needed to support Redistricting Board as it considers two maps of Senate pairings for Anchorage,”  

I tracked several pages of the public testimony submitted via the online form.  I didn't get to that high a number, but I did notice there were several times when there was a flurry of pro-3B comments. 

• Please DO NOT ADOPT THE BAHNKE PLAN
• I support 3B - (I counted over 40 like this one, Some added a 'thank you.)

On the other hand, the messages from the folks who supported Option 2 had a lot more to say and
