BREAKING: New York court rules for Democrats in major congressional redistricting dispute
The initial gerrymandered lines drawn in 2022 would have made Democrats the favored party to win in 22 of the state's 26 congressional districts. But Republicans successfully challenged them and got a much more favorable map to help Rep. Kevin McCarthy take back control of the House.In 2022, New York Republicans flipped four seats from blue to red, with victories for GOP Reps. George Santos, Anthony D’Esposito, Mike Lawler, and Marc Molinaro.
The appeals court on Thursday found that New York Democrats showed a"clear legal right to the relief sought," ordering the Independent Redistricting Commission to"commence its duties" and redraw a new congressional map, according to the 17-page decision.State Republicans are likely to appeal the decision.
