NY’s Redistricting Commission Proposes Another Congressional Map with a Slight Democratic Edge, But This Time with a 9-1 Bipartisan Endorsement
When we last reported on New York’s Congressional redistricting drama, the state supreme court threw out a special master’s competitive map because the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission, or IRC, hadn’t completed its constitutional duties. Analysis of new maps released last week by the commission may give a slight advantage to Democrats.
