New York’s top court on Tuesday ordered the state to restart its redistricting process and create a new congressional map, in an opinion that could shake up the race for the closely divided House in next year’s election.
The 4-3 ruling would have the state restart its independent redistricting commission process, which means the map-drawing process eventually could end up once again going to the Democrat-controlled legislature.
In last year’s congressional election, with a court-drawn map, Republicans flipped four seats to hold 11 of the state’s 26 seats.
