LAMBERT, Justice.
This appeal is from the judgment of the Campbell Circuit. Court which upheld the constitutionality of the 1991 Legislative Reapportionment Act (as amended effective January 1,1993), KRS Chapter 5. The issue is whether the Act satisfies the mandate of Section 33 of the Constitution of Kentucky and in particular that portion which prohibits the division of counties between or among legislative districts.
