ALBANY, N.Y. — An upstate Republican judge struck down New York’s recently drawn state and congressional maps, deeming them unconstitutional and handing Republicans a significant win.
Steuben County Supreme Court Judge Patrick McAllister told the Democrat-led Legislature to go back to the drawing board and resubmit maps with “sufficient bipartisan support” by April 11.
Should lawmakers fail to do so, the court will “retain a neutral expert at State expense to prepare said maps,” a move that could potentially postpone elections in the Empire State.
