New York Dems illegally drew congressional districts, appeals court rules
Fox News
A mid-level appeals court in New York State ruled late Thursday that Democrats illegally drew up new congressional maps to unfairly benefit their own party.
The judges said that Democratic lawmakers drafted the 2022 congressional redistricting map "without any Republican input, and the map was adopted by the legislature without a single Republican vote n favor of it."
A group of Republican voters had argued that the maps amounted to gerrymandering and filed a lawsuit in state court asking to have the maps to be tossed out and to delay the June congressional primaries until late August. They say this would give the state enough time to draw up new maps.
