redistricting

The new map was proposed after a New York appeals court upheld a lower court's decision to reject the legislature’s previous attempt at redrawing its district lines.

Last month, a New York appeals court agreed with a lower court's ruling and rejected the previous district map, requiring the legislature to draw it again.

New York's highest court last week gave Democrats a chance to redraw the state's congressional districts, a major victory as the party tries to win control of the U.S. House next year. Now the question is how far the state’s Democrat-dominated Legislature will try to push the boundaries in crucial battleground districts to give their party an advantage — and how far the courts will let them.

New York’s highest court has ordered the state to draw new congressional districts ahead of the 2024 elections, giving Democrats a potential advantage in what is expected to be a battleground for control of the U.S. House.

The appellate court backed a lower court's ruling against the redrawn district maps, which opponents argued were gerrymandered.

In a 3-2 split decision, a mid-level appellate court is ordering New York’s redistricting commission to restart the process of drawing the state’s congressional district lines.

The case could open the door to redrawing congressional district maps.

New York’s redistricting commission approved a set of maps on a bipartisan basis for the first time in its existence after deadlocking following the 2020 census.

The state’s Independent Redistricting Commission will proceed to submit draft maps to the state legislature for new Assembly districts to go into effect in 2025.
