The Arizona Supreme Court dealt Republican Gov. Jan Brewer a blow Thursday, overturning her decision to oust the chairwoman of the state’s independent redistricting commission.
The Arizona Republic reported that the court found that Brewer’s removal of Colleen Coyle Mathis did not meet state constitution guidelines.
Brewer removed Mathis on Nov. 2, with the consent of the Republican-controlled Senate, for holding too many secret meetings and for drafting a map that Brewer said did not meet guidelines for compact districts and keeping together “communities of interest.”
