Gerrymandered New York Congressional Map Signed Into Law

US

New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has signed into law a highly partisan congressional map which will give Democrats an even greater advantage in New York in November's midterms.

  • The new map has an additional three Democratic-leaning seats, loses three Republican-leaning seats, and drops one highly competitive seat.
  • The map will be subject to a legal challenges.
  • FiveThirtyEight said: 'Such an egregiously biased map was only possible because of the weakness of New York’s new bipartisan redistricting commission. Under state law, the legislature may simply draw its own map after rejecting the commission’s first two proposals.'
