The Glitches will get you if you don't watch out

AP reports

A Republican state senator whose congressional redistricting proposal had been anxiously awaited by fellow lawmakers angrily left a Senate committee meeting Wednesday and said he wasn't unveiling any congressional maps.

"I'm out of the map-drawing business. Senator Staples now has that business," Sen. Chris Harris, R-Arlington, said at a meeting of the Senate Jurisprudence Committee. He said the maps were drawn by the attorney general's office and a "computer glitch" had rendered them unable to stand up to court scrutiny.

Harris said he had been told by the attorney general that his maps were illegal. With that, Harris left the committee room. Reporters chased after Harris but the gruff Arlington senator would say little.
