>> THE REASON THEY ARE BACK IN

02:20.500 --> 02:25.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
SPRINGFIELD IS BECAUSE YOU

02:21.433 --> 02:26.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CANNOT HAVE ONE DISTRICT THAT IS

02:23.033 --> 02:28.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
MUCH LARGER OR SMALLER THAN

TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS

02:40.100 --> 02:44.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
MAKING SURE THEY ARE IN

HE SAYS THIS MAP DOES A GOOD JOB

02:50.066 --> 02:55.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES

02:51.666 --> 02:57.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TO DISTRICTS WITH A MAJORITY OF

02:53.366 --> 02:59.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
BLACK RESIDENTS.

02:55.233 --> 03:01.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
NOT QUITE AS SO MUCH THAT CASE

02:57.666 --> 03:02.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FOR DISTRICTS WITH THE MAJORITY

02:59.166 --> 03:04.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
OF LATINOS AND THAT IS THE

03:01.333 --> 03:06.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CONTENTION OF A LAWSUIT THAT HAS

03:02.700 --> 03:10.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
BEEN BROUGHT BY THE MEXICAN

THERE WAS SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE.

03:23.000 --> 03:30.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IT MIGHT NOT BE EVERYTHING THAT

03:24.700 --> 03:32.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THEY WOULD WANT, BUT DEFINITELY

03:27.800 --> 03:34.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THERE WAS SOME CONSIDERATION AND

ADJUSTMENT THAT TOOK PLACE.

03:32.366 --> 03:37.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
