A New York court orders the state to redraw its congressional districts again, claiming the state’s redistricting commission failed to meet its constitutional obligations during the most recent redistricting cycle.
A New York court ordered the state to redraw its congressional districts again on Thursday, opening the door for Democrats to boost their chances in the race for the House majority next year.
Republicans have vowed to appeal, but if the order holds, it would give Democrats an advantage in the new maps, as the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission holds little power. During the last election cycle, the court notes, the commission failed to submit a second set of maps to the legislature, which must approve any map the commission draws.helped them win three more seatsRepublicans sued, and state courts agreed that the Democratic-drawn maps were illegal gerrymanders.
“After failing to win at the ballot box last November, New York Democrats are attempting a blatant partisan power grab thinly disguised as a court case. Republicans will appeal to protect the will of the voters of New York, and we will fight to hold the line in the Empire State,” said National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Jack Pandol.
