Reporters present in Pierre are noting that a deal may be struck which would means they would complete redistricting today, and not send it to the State Supreme Court.
I’m being told that a contingent of senators and representatives from northeast SD are working on a compromise redistricting map behind the scenes and are nearing agreement. Those negotiations are why House State Affairs hasn’t yet reconvened yet.

State lawmakers from northeastern SD are close to a deal that would push redistricting across the finish line. Would split Brown County into three districts.
