Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix, holds a news conference announcing his dismay at the handling of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission by legislative Republicans, at the Arizona Capitol, Tuesday, Nov.1, 2011, in Phoenix.

Jan Brewer considered ousting members of the state's redistricting commission, a move that would throw the high-stakes political process into disarray. The Republican-led House and Senate planned to meet Tuesday afternoon to consider a special House-Senate committee's report that calls the redistricting commission's draft maps fundamentally flawed.
