>Redistricting negotiations focus on merging two North Jersey areas
The panel charged with redrawing New Jersey’s congressional map was focusing on combining two districts in the northern part of the state, as negotiations between Republicans and Democrats stretched into a third night.
Areas represented by Republican Scott Garrett and Democrat Steve Rothman were emerging as the most likely to be merged. However, it was unclear what the final map would look like and uncertain that a decision would be reached Wednesday. (Delli Santi, Associated Press)
