ALBANY, N.Y. — The upstate judge overseeing the redrawing of New York’s scrapped state Senate and congressional maps will weigh a legal challenge seeking to have Democrat-drafted Assembly district maps voided as well.
Steuben County State Supreme Court Judge Patrick McAllister on Monday scheduled a hearing for May 10 to discuss a legal brief filed by the head of the New York Young Republican Club calling for the Assembly districts to be tossed.
“I will not stand for New Yorkers to suffer from the whims of an unconstitutional and undemocratic process,” NY Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax said. “The exclusion of State Assembly District maps from the special master’s redistricting efforts will subject New Yorkers to a decade of misrepresentation in state government.”
