MOHAVE COUNTY – Redistricting methodology was addressed during the Feb. 1Monday’s Mohave County Board of Supervisors meeting in Kingman. Elections Director Allen Tempert provided strong testimony in support of contracting for expertise rather than attempting to use in-house resources to redraw county district boundaries. Redistricting occurs once the census is complete every ten years and Tempert said the firm employed by the county 10 years ago did a great job. “The consultants were the right way to go.
