NEW BRUNSWICK — Democrats have convinced tiebreaker Alan Rosenthal to side with their legislative district map, according to two sources close to the state legislative redistricting process.
Rosenthal emerged from his conference room with staff members after more than four hours after each party's redistricting team made their final case to him.
The sources were not authorized to speak publicly because Rosenthal does not want the redistricting debate to play out in the press.
About 5:24 p.m., he walked with his team into the GOP’s conference room and stayed for about one minute to deliver the news.
