Redistricting commissioners have briefly reconvened again, and this time recessed until 7:30 p.m., giving them another hour and a half to work on redistricting plans. "We are making tremendous progress," said Co-Chairman Evan Frasure. "I think I speak for the entire commission, we plan on being here as long as we need to be tonight, because we recognize we have Monday and Tuesday to get a whole dictionary written to explain what we did. ... I just want to compliment the entire commission on their willingness to stay late, work hard, and eventually get to a compromise."

Frasure initially suggested a two-hour break, but a grumbling Democratic Commissioner George Moses said that sounded like either too much time or too little. "If we're looking for answers tonight, we don't need two hours, I don't think," he said, asking to either come back in an hour or adjourn until tomorrow morning. Frasure said he didn't want to break the current momentum. "Let's call it 7:30," he said. "I'd sure love to have an hour to stay at that computer." Before the group convened, Democratic Commissioner Moses and GOP Commissioner Lou Esposito hunched frowning over a district map in the aisle of the auditorium, still apparently in disagreement.
