The board’s dissenting members said the plan would improperly give Eagle River greater representation in the Senate.
The board had been considering two options to address concerns raised by the court. The other option would have joined the Eagle River area’s two House districts into one Senate district.

Members Bahnke and Nicole Borromeo, who are independents, dissented.
