2. Wow. That's going to take an enormous amount of work!

Am I understanding from your excellent post that they need to set up an election using the old district with a primary and general election. I assume the recent primary was with the new district, so they can't just skip the primary. Not to mention, given the primary, I assume the voter rolls are already set up with the new district. So, they need to go back to the old,then for November get them back to the new?

So some people will now have a new primary and general election because they are in the old district to elect someone to serve until January, 2027. Everyone will also have a November election in their new district.

Is this a red district that became bluer to make other (blue) districts redder? Could that hurt us if the November candidate wins the special election in the older redder district?

Could they legally use the new district, even though that would mean that some people would have 2 representatives who they voted for or against and some, who after the vote, will have not had a chance to have voted for any.
