Court Orders N.Y. to Redraw House Map; GOP Irate

Republicans are furious after an appeals court in New York ordered on Thursday that the state’s congressional maps be redrawn. This could give Democrats up to six additional House seats.

The Appellate Section of the State Supreme Court ruled last year that the court-drawn maps from the previous year were only temporary and ordered the state’s Bipartisan Commission to make new ones.

The New York Times reported that the current map of New York, drawn by an expert neutral, was approved after several Republican lawsuit victories.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the map showed six districts that were Democrat-leaning, 16 Republican-leaning, and four other districts that are typically open for grabs.

The IRC, a group of Democrat and Republican experts that consists of several Democrat members, has approved a new map.

The Republicans have promised to appeal the ruling to the highest court in the state.

Salon reported that, if the Republican challenge of the decision fails to succeed, Republican Reps. Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, and Anthony D’Esposito, of Long Island, and George Santos, of Queens could be forced out.

John Faso, a former Republican Representative, said: “On to Court of Appeals.” “Democrats are trying to manipulate the congressional district boundaries in their favor.” New York State has now more competitive congressional district than any other state in the country.
