BELLEVILLE - Governor Mikie Sherrill fielded a question about redistricting tonight at the smoldering scene of the devastating mattress factory fire.

"We certainly will see what goes forward," Sherrill told reporters. "It's a constitutional issue in New Jersey. We have to take a vote in the legislature if that's a discussion we want to have as a state, probably not likely this November."

For context, from Democracy Docket:

New Jersey could join the crop of blue states currently considering new congressional maps in light of the US Supreme Court’s ruling that effectively vanquishes protections for racial minority districts.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill told CNN that “we’ll take the measures we have to take” when asked if the state should redistrict in response to red states’ plans to eliminate minority districts after the SCOTUS ruling, and at President Trump’s urging.
