2020 New York Redistricting

[OBD]

Here is the NY CD map that most probably will survive court challenge. The Pubs get 5 seats, assuming Katko hangs around. In other than a bad Dem election cycle, the Dems should pick up the Katko seat when he retires. That CD almost perfectly nests into Madison, Oneida and Onondaga counties. It draws itself. The Stefanick seat becomes more marginal. The 21 Dem seats are all quite safe. The NYC population gains above expectations “solved” the Dem challenges in the care and feeding (except for AOC whose district has moved to south Brooklyn) of all the Dem incumbents quite nicely. It was a stretch, but I even got Kiryas Joel into the Sean Maloney seat.

Wait, is that 3rd district legal? Pretty sure there’s literally no connection (road, cultural, or otherwise) between the northern bit and the remainder of the seat.

Take one look at my avatar and tell me with a straight face that Democrats are weak.

See IL dems could have done 15-2, they were just weak enough to be pushed around by an incumbent who turned around and retired after the map passed

Very, very pleasantly surprised. A beautiful fair map out of the Empire state!

NY Dems act like “defenders of democracy” yet make this sh***y map. This map NEEDS to be taken down, and it should be unconstitutional

What do you mean? We need this map TO defend democracy!

A humble proposal for upstate New York. Extremely compact, competitive, and fair!
