New York Democrats could pick up 3 congressional seats under new maps​

New York’s 27-member congressional delegation currently has 19 Democrats and eight Republicans. That delegation is due to decrease to 26 members after the state’s population grew less rapidly than other states’.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York legislators introduced a redistricting plan that could allow the size of the state’s Democratic delegation in Congress to grow from 19 to as many as 22 members.

The maps are expected to be approved in the coming week. Democrats, who have supermajorities in both houses of the Legislature, are poised to control the outcome of the mapmaking process in New York for the first time in generations.

— Moderate Republican Rep. John Katko’s looming retirement from his Syracuse-area seat was already making the path to retaining a seat more difficult for the GOP in a district that preferred Joe Biden to Donald Trump by 9 percentage points. The new maps would add deep-blue Tompkins County, home of Ithaca, to that district.

So now they can be a super, super majority? Is it 2.5 years yet?

Maybe Russia will nuke NYC over Ukraine...

after the state’s population grew less rapidly than other states

This is for US Congressional representatives, not state reps. It will help offset the shellacking they're due to receive in November.

They already control the state with just nyc. Must be they just want to stop the noise from upstate.

They’re taking steps to ensure non Dems will not be elected, regardless of mail in ballots, Dominion, and all that. Total control is the aim here.

I thought the republicans are the bad people in this yet how can this be? I’m not surprised one bit. The lines have to be redrawn because we’re losing the seat and it’s not hard to do.

Decades of Republicans caving to Democrats has brought us to this. In the late 90s Dems outnumbered Reps. 3 to 2. Now Dems outnumber Reps ~2.25 to 1. Reps. have no agenda, no leadership and no clue.

Get out. Don't look back.

My ancestors left England in like fashion. I’ve no objection to doing same, though logistically going to a different continent presents some steep obstacles at present.

Democrats Go Scorched Earth on Redistricting While Republicans Curl Into the Fetal Position​

With a mid-term election less than a year away, states are scrambling to finish up the redistricting process. But while you are most likely to hear about gerrymandering from the mainstream media in reference to Republicans, the truth is that the most egregious examples are coming from Democrat-run states.
You’ve probably seen the spaghetti-on-a-wall map drawn in Illinois which nuked several GOP-held seats. Oregon, Maryland, and New Mexico have also pushed the envelope, squeezing every last Democrat seat possible into their redistricting plans. In states with “independent commissions” run by academics, Democrats have stacked the deck as well, with California’s blue-bolstering map being an example.

Now, we can add New York to the list. The state has released a 22-4 D to R map that eliminates four Republicans even as it lost a congressional seat due to the census.

Jerry Nadler’s district 10, shown up close in the second picture, is maybe the worst gerrymander in the country, though, there are some others vying for the title. It’s specifically meant to dilute the vote of Orthodox Jews, many of which vote Republican. Getting outside of New York City, things aren’t much better, with disjointed, hacked-up districts meant to compact Democrats into deep blue bastions.

That's not true according to the map I saw. They're going to chop Syracuse out of 24 and make it go from Niagara Falls all the way up to Watertown but skirt Rochester to the south. It'll be a red district for sure. But 22 is gaining that part of Syracuse, as well as all those nutjobs in Tomkins county. Claudia Tenney won't have a chance.

Gerrymandering rhymes with Salamander(ing).
It was a name coined by journalist after Elbridge Gerry, pronounced Gary, a Founding Father, a signer of OUR Declaration Of Independence, changed his District and it ended up looking like a salamander.
Elbridge Gerry, and others, refused to sign OUR Constitution at OUR Second Continental Congress until James Madison, OUR Constitution's author, added our First 10 Amendments where spelled out (added).
Gerry's family still own vacation property in Delaware County New York.

Funny how Dems screech about Republicans gerrymandering while doing it themselves.

 

[BerettaGuy]

I remember Democrats screaming like a raped ape when the Republican Majority did the maps.

 

[RedBreast21]

No one should be surprised by this. NY's tax paying population will continue to decline and the state will lose seats in Washington. They will continue to carve out and make additional districts for democrat representatives to keep and gain seats in Washington. These districts are based on population. California did this through the use of illegal aliens boosting the population in areas to split existing democrat seats. Same crap going on here. Probably one of the reasons planes land in the middle of the night.

Bye NY 18 months and counting

Bad news.

If you want to know what Democrats are up to, listen for what they're accusing Republicans of doing.

Who was it that actually colluded with the Russians in 2016 again ? Who paid them to make a fake dossier on their opponent ?

The only way to get rid of fat-fuck Jerry is in a Democrat primary.

You must, seriously, admire the way the Liberal Progressive Democrats wield power. When they are given even a modicum of control, they run for the end zone. Their party is due to get creamed in the upcoming midterm. BUT...they find a way to use state level redistricting to increase their number of House seats. Amazing....machiavellian and insidous...but impressive nonetheless.

The Republicans have shown themselves to be impotent and unable to use power. When the GOP controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency in 2017 and 2018, they did NOTHING (except fight amongst themselves).

 

[RedBreast21]

Well I believe its pretty clear now that the establishment Democrats and Republicans are two heads of the same snake. Jeff Sessions was the first to reveal this to those of us who don't treat political parties like our favorite sport teams. Trumps take down was a bipartisan effort yet we see many clinging to their party brand backing other establishment members. A political revolution is what is needed now and its underway within the Republican party with Trump backing new blood from hard working families.

The Democrats have their own revolution going on but it's one where they need to shut down and control the far left wing that they capitulated to for the elections. That group is far more dangerous than the hard right wing. I have no doubt that the heavy handed fist of the Democrat party will bring them in line.

The Republicans controlled the whole shebang.

Conservatives never did.

At this point though, the real battle is between libertarians and authoritarians.

I don't need to tell you how lop sided *that* imbalance is in congress.

When the answer to any problem is "we need to pass another law" not "we need to repeal the law that caused the problem" you know where they stand.
