New York’s New Redistricting Maps are in, and they’re looking very good for Democrats.

New York could add as many as Three Democratic Members to Congress, under the New set of Proposed District lines. If that happens, the State would send 22 House Democrats to Washington.

Democrats, who have Supermajorities in both Houses of the State Legislature, are poised to Control the outcome of the Mapmaking process in New York for the First time in Generations.

The Voters of New York, created an Independent Commission that would do away with all this Gerrymandering Business. But that Failed pretty spectacularly, with the Bipartisan Panel unable to come up with a Proposal, leaving the Legislature to take control of the process last week, and Draw its own Maps.

New York is set to Lose One of its current 27 House Seats under the most recent Census. To account for that, the Legislature’s Maps effectively eliminates the District held by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-22nd District, Utica).

Several remaining Seats would become much more difficult for the GOP to hold.

The District represented by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-11th District, Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn), a constant Battleground in recent years, where the incumbent faces a challenge from ex-Rep. Max Rose (D), who was defeated by Malliotakis in 2020, would add Liberal parts of Brooklyn including Park Slope.

Long Island’s Two current GOP Districts, which have been Competitive but regularly elected Republicans over the last Decade, would be Replaced with One District that favors Democrats, Gubernatorial hopeful Lee Zeldin’s (R-1st District, Eastern two-thirds of Suffolk County) and another that leans GOP, Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-2nd District, South Shore of Long Island).

The District held by retiring Moderate Rep. John Katko (R-24th District, Syracuse), already a tough one for the GOP to keep, would add more Democratic territory.

State Chair Nick Langworthy (R), called the Maps “the most brazen and outrageous attempt at rigging the election” and “textbook filthy, partisan gerrymandering that is clearly in violation of the New York State Constitution.”

He said Republicans are reviewing Legal Options, but barring any Intervention, State Legislators are Planning to Vote on approving the New Maps before they wrap up their Weekly Session on Wednesday.
