The House found bipartisanship in the normally riven process, though, approving with a 115-5 vote a new version of its chamber map after Republicans accepted a series of Democratic amendments. “After a week of working with Senate Democrats on a collaborative map-drawing process for the Senate map, we have not been able to reach a consensus," Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, the chamber's Republican leader, said in a statement. Because Republicans control the state House and Senate, they initially were able to pass voting maps highly favorable to their party.
