A panel of appellate judges in New York are hearing arguments about whether the Democratic-led Legislature unconstitutionally passed new congressional maps.
A view of New York State Capitol Building and office of Governor Andrew Cuomo at the Empire State Plaza on April 22, 2020 in Albany, New York. Did New York's Democratic-led Legislature unconstitutionally pass new maps setting congressional district boundaries for the next decade? That's among the questions before a panel of five mid-level appellate judges, who began hearing arguments Wednesday.
Republicans represent about 22% of registered New York voters, and currently hold eight of the state's 27 seats in Congress. But New York now gets one less seat following the 2020 Census, and the new maps would give Democrats a strong majority of registered voters in 22 of the state's 26 congressional districts.
The GOP lawsuit cites computer simulations by election analyst Sean Trende, who found the maps were gerrymandered. "I think that the process was along partisan lines, but that is a far cry from any proof that it was partisan intended," she said.
