The story goes on under the ad The New York Congressional map deemed unconstitutional by the state judge would give Democratic Republicans 22 seats to four Republicans. The New York delegation consists of 19 Democratic seats to eight Republican seats. The state has lost a seat due to slow growth in the last 10 years. The Democrats, who had full control of the New York state government for the first time in a century, said they were using their power to correct mistakes on previous maps. But Republicans denounced it as partisan aggression that ran counter to voters’ desire to pull raw politics out of redistribution. In 2014, New York voters approved a constitutional amendment to create a separate entity outside the state legislature to control redistribution. The 10-member committee was equally divided into party lines. Of the members, eight were appointed by party legislative leaders. The story goes on under the ad The committee had to present a single charter to the legislature that state legislators could adopt or reject. But he is overwhelmed by his own partisan internal strife, the committee did not come up with a unified map, instead submitting two sets of lines, one drawn by Democrats on the panel and another by Republicans. The committee’s drama effectively allowed state lawmakers to reject it work and create their own map. “The scourge of the tribunal is not unique to New York,” wrote McAllister, a Republican. “In 2014, the state of New York took important measures to avoid being plagued by nerds. 2020 The 2020 census was the first time since the constitutional amendment that led New York to design new districts. Therefore, this is a case of first impression in many respects “. Democrats involved in the restructuring effort said Republicans deliberately took the case to a rural, conservative judge and that the outcome would ultimately be decided by a higher court, where they would fight for the maps to take effect. The story goes on under the ad “This is a step in the right direction,” said Mike Murphy, a Democrat in the New York Senate. “We always knew that this case would be decided by the appellate courts. We are appealing against this decision and we expect that this decision will be suspended as the appeal process proceeds “. Republicans hailed the lower court ruling as a victory for New York voters who wanted a less partisan redistribution process. Democrats have made similar arguments in GOP-controlled states that have also taken anti-ballot initiatives, such as Ohio. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (D), co-chair of the National Republican Restructuring Trust, set aside a question about the similarity of conditions between the two states. “It is very difficult to compare state to state in this,” he said during a press conference. “What we are seeing, however, are those who looked at the map of New York, independent experts and those like me involved in the political process, who said from the beginning that of the 50 states involved in redistribution, this was by far the worst surgeon in the country. ».
