ALBANY, N.Y. — A Manhattan appellate court ruled Friday that Democrat-drawn state Assembly maps are unconstitutional and should be redrawn — just not this year.
While the five-judge panel unanimously found that the Assembly boundaries are unconstitutional and must be replaced, they determined it’s too late to push back the June 28 primary.
“The request for a delay of the 2022 assembly primary elections is denied in any event, because the redrawing and implementing of a new assembly map before a 2022 primary election delayed even until September is, at this late date, no longer feasible,” the ruling reads.
