A New York court just ruled that the Democrats have engaged in unlawful gerrymandering

It is the second such ruling and follows a similar ruling in Maryland.

Surprisingly the libtard who claimed it was the Republicans who were doing the gerrymandering is in hiding ashamed as more of his misinformation has been exposed

N.Y. House Districts Illegally Favor Democrats, Appeals Court Rules

A divided five-judge panel found that Democrats engaged in gerrymandering in creating new district maps. The case is expected to head to New York’s highest court.

A divided five-judge panel in Rochester said Democratic legislative leaders had drawn the new House map “to discourage competition and favor Democrats,” knowingly ignoring the will of voters who recently approved a constitutional amendment outlawing the practice.

The ruling was the second consecutive setback for New York's Democratic mapmakers, and this time it came in an appellate court that was viewed as generally friendly to the party.

“Like other state courts around the country, New York courts aren’t finding the question of whether a map is a partisan gerrymander a particularly hard one to decide,” said Michael Li, senior counsel for the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “It’s very hard to defend a map like New York’s, and ultimately if it quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.”

The New York State Court of Appeals has thrown out New York's Congressional and State Senate maps for 2022. Both maps will be drawn by a special master, not the legislature. The decision was likely 4-3.

This is how blatantly illegal the Democrat drawn maps were. To give folks a sense of the degree of difficulty R’s faced: the swing vote in this case was the former elected Dem District Attorney of Nassau County. R’s also needed to secure the vote of a career Dem judge originally elected from the Bronx, as well as an R and an R-turned-D.

Surprisingly the libtard who claimed it was the Republicans who were doing the gerrymandering is still in hiding ashamed as more of his misinformation has been exposed
