A New York appellate judge is allowing elections to proceed this year under redistricting maps signed into law earlier this year but must redraw lines in time for the 2024 elections.
Last week, an acting NYS Supreme Court Justice in Steuben County ruled the newly drawn Congressional and Legislative districts in the state to be unconstitutional and must be redrawn immediately. But, after an appeal, everything is back in limbo.
A trial court ruling that declared New York’s new congressional and legislative district maps unconstitutional was temporarily stayed by a state appeals court judge Monday.
State lawmakers have voted to approved new Congressional districts that will give Democrats an advantage in nearly all of New York's House districts over the next decade.
New York’s legislature is set to vote today on new congressional district maps that will expand Democrats’ influence in New York politics for years to come.
Proposed political maps released by the leaders of New York’s Democrat-dominated legislature would give the party an advantage in 22 of the state’s 26 congressional districts.
