In regards to this travesty that's left Lexington's 13th district without a Senator, here's the reality of the situation.
Had Beshear vetoed this legislation, this could have gone 1 of 2 sad ways.
1. The Senate Republicans could have mustered an override.
2. The House would have to had made major concessions to the Senate in a deal, and even then it's unclear how this would have washed out. From what I'm hearing/reading the House redistricting was about 5 fold worse for the Republicans.
What an ugly game this is... A culture of destruction. Far easier to break each other strengths down than to build your own strengths up.
