ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s top court is giving Democrats another shot at drawing congressional lines in 2024, smoothing the path for pickups for the party in a state where they underperformed in 2022 and helped hand House control to Republicans.
A Court of Appeals 4-3 decision Tuesday ordered a bipartisan commission that deadlocked last year to reconvene and produce new draft plans by the end of February.
The Democratic-dominated state Legislature will then vote on the new maps. If the maps are voted down by the commission, legislators would have the power to draw maps themselves.
