The lawsuit filed over the redistricting boundaries for the three seats on the Madison County Board of Commissioners continues to be debated.
Last year Commissioners Kelly Gaskill and Mike Phipps cast the deciding votes to change the district lines from the long established boundaries to one based on population density.
That change came one year before the next U.S. Census was completed and could result in changes in the boundary lines again in 2021.
At the time, Kevin Sipe and Wes Likens filed a lawsuit in Madison County to conduct the 2020 election for the North and Middle District commissioner seats according to the old boundaries.
