“New York’s highest court ordered the state to redraw its congressional map on Tuesday, making a major pre-election intervention in the 2024 fight for the House that could allow Democrats to tilt a key battleground leftward,” the New York Times reports.
“Powered by a new liberal majority, the State Court of Appeals effectively wiped out the highly competitive map that helped Republicans flip four seats and win the House majority. It said the neutral lines, which it had imposed just last year, were meant only to be a temporary fix.”
Washington Post: “The ruling could be consequential in determining which party controls the House during the next Congress. In 2022, Republicans flipped four districts in New York, giving them a razor-thin majority in the House. Democrats need to win a net of five seats to win back the House next year.”
