The Republicans are likely to appeal the decision to the state’s Supreme Court.
Democrat Gabe Velasquez flipped the historically Republican 2nd Congressional District of New Mexico by less than 1% of the votes in 2022.
The state is one of several in which crucial legal battles over congressional redistricting are still raging two years after most states enacted new maps following the once-a-decade US census. In Friday’s decision, Ninth Judicial District judge Fred Van Soelen found that Democratic lawmakers intentionally split up the state’s conservative southeastern region to dilute Republican votes, turning the historically Republican 2nd Congressional District into a highly competitive seat.
“The legislature intended to and, in fact, did egregiously gerrymander the congressional maps,” said state Republican party chairman Steve Pearce in a statement.
