New York Legislature Poised to Vote on New Map

“New York’s Democratic-controlled Legislature is poised to vote Monday on whether to reject a congressional map devised by a bipartisan commission that gave Democrats only a modest electoral advantage or move to seize control of the process and draw their own lines,” CNN reports.

“The decision could shape which party controls the U.S. House next year…”

“Several New York Democrats have signaled their displeasure with the map, which was approved 9-1 by the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission earlier this month. The map largely left undisturbed House districts in the New York City suburbs, which have been viewed as potential battlegrounds in November.”
