New York court tosses congressional maps in potential blow to GOP control of House – By Vaughn Golden (New York Post) / Dec 12, 2023
New York’s highest court tossed out the state’s congressional maps, giving a redistricting panel another shot to redraw several hotly contested districts that could decide control of the House of Representatives in 2024.
In a 4-3 decision, the New York court of appeals upheld a challenge by Democrats arguing the state’s redistricting commission and legislature should have another crack at implementing districts ahead of 2024.
The high court ruled last year that the Democratic-controlled legislature unconstitutionally approved gerrymandered districts in their favor, leading to a court appointed special master to redraw them for last year’s midterms.
