22 of New York's 26 congressional districts would have a Democratic enrollment advantage in a new map proposed by the state legislature—a gain of three that could help the party potentially pick up seats as it clings to a narrow House majority nationally.
A rendering of the new district lines Albany is expected to vote on this week.New York state lawmakers will vote this week on a set of congressional maps that would boost the Democratic Party’s chances of winning additional seats, though Republicans are threatening to challenge the lines in court.
It would make major changes throughout the state, including the melding of a district along the Sound Shore that would include parts of Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens and Westchester County. “I'd expect this plan to pass the legislature this week, signed by the governor and we can look forward to a timely spring 2022 primary process,” said Wice, an expert who assisted Democrats in previous redistricting cycles.New York’s congressional districts were supposed to be crafted by a panel known as the Independent Redistricting Commission, which was created after the last redistricting cycle in 2012.
The congressional redistricting in New York could have a significant national impact because of the current makeup of the House of Representatives.As it stands, Democrats have a narrow 222-212 majority in the 435-seat chamber. If New York’s proposed lines take hold, they could be in prime position to pick up a few additional seats.The state legislature will have to put the plan to a vote, where the maps are expected to require a two-thirds majority to pass.
