2020 New York Redistricting

[Greedo punched first]

So the only two hard gerrymanders the Dems have left really are Illinois and Oregon.   Everything else is pretty mild. 

New Mexico?

I mean, that's really just 1 seat, and it's not safe D even, more just tossup or tilt D in a neutral year.

Isn't NM-02 still likely R despite being a Biden district?

So Democrats need to have fair maps because Democrats need to play by the rules, but Republicans are free to gerrymander all they want because they don't believe in rules, great.

Exactly, if your opposition to gerrymandering is sincere and not a political posture.

This is like a Susan Collins/Joe Manchin sort of take.

I mean obviously we should strike down Republican maps too, but if you're opposed to gerrymandering you should celebrate this ruling even if it costs Democrats a couple of seats.

No either all gerrymanders get struck down or none do, having only one party's get struck down is even more unfair than gerrymandering as a whole.

Republicans have had seats struck down too this cycle--it's not like NY is the only place where this has happened.

But SCOTUS will restore those seats. I bet NY courts also require a new Republican Orthodox district in Brooklyn to be drawn as well, in the best case scenario for the NYGOP.

What’s the likelihood NYC gets a second Republican seat?
