00:00We'll be joined in a moment by Senator Pity of just a few logistic points that were not brought up in the conversation a moment ago on Monday. And we have members of the legislature with us on Monday, the legislature will introduce a number of bills with four key components to create the special election to fund the election special election framework for the maps and the constitutional amendment itself that would affirm our support for national
00:29independent redistricting and affirm our support for a temporary measure to move forward with these congressional maps being redrawn mid decade. But the commission continuing its work in 2030. We expect that the legislature will move quickly and anticipate by the end of next week that they will complete that work. The maps will present themselves for the next few days. I know people are eager to see the maps. We anticipate these
00:59maps will completely neuter and neutralize what is happening in Texas. This does not go forward. I want to remind everybody unless one of these other states move forward. There's still an exit ramp, not just Texas, but Missouri, as I mentioned, or Florida, Indiana, and these other states that are considering doing the unprecedented rigging their elections with midterm redistricting. So we're hopeful they don't move forward. That's the case. This effort will not need be necessary, but we're not waiting.
01:29And we're not anticipating that these states will be passive, particularly with the directive coming from President Donald Trump with that.
