NY Appeals Court rules against Democrat gerrymander

 PJ Media reports:

“Democratic leaders in the legislature drafted the 2022 congressional redistricting map without any Republican input, and the map was adopted by the Legislature without a single Republican vote in favor of it,” the majority decision reached by five judges said.

The 2012 map created 19 Democratic districts and eight Republican seats. The current map will have one less seat due to New York’s loss of population. But this new map would have cost Republicans five seats. Does this mean that in a state with 27 congressional districts only three Republicans will be allowed to serve?

The Dems will probably take the matter to the NY Supreme Court, but it is rare to see such a lopsided attempt to deny representation to the minority power.  It should be noted that Republicans have been voting with their moving vans out of New York in recent months to escape the evils of liberalism.  That is one of the reasons the state now has one ess seat n Congress.
