New York Map Likely to Remain in Place for 2022

David Wasserman has the early read on a New York judge throwing out the new redistricting maps: “The ruling likely to be stayed on appeal, so Democrats believe map will remain in place, at least for 2022. Huge stakes here, as a ‘neutral’ map could cost Dems 3 to 4 seats and erase their nationwide remap gains.”

“Key point here: for the New York lines to change for this fall, less GOP-friendly higher courts would not only need to agree with plaintiffs on the merits, but potentially alter the election calendar. Just like Ohio Republicans, New York Democrats could be saved by the bell.”
