“If the state is still working on it, but not sending files down, then is it appropriate for the plaintiffs to say that there is no process? We believe the answer to that is, no. The state is working diligently every day. The state will have a process. The state has contingencies planned for if the courts go one way, the courts go another way. The state currently believes it would be irresponsible to lay out a process only to have it be changed by a court order a week, a month, two months from now, with the November election coming up,” Jazil told Hinkle during Thursday’s hearing.
