He said their map is more favorable to Democrats than <em>5,000 <\/em>computer-simulated ones.<\/p>\n<p>That breaches a 2014 state constitutional amendment banning district boundaries \u201cdrawn to discourage competition or for the purpose of favoring or disfavoring incumbents or other particular candidates or political parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also doubly disses voters, who reiterated their insistence on fairly drawn districts in November when they shot down the Dems\u2019 bid to scrap a requirement for maps to receive support from <em>both <\/em>parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expert evidence\u201d shows the Dem map is \u201can unconstitutional partisan gerrymander,\u201d fumes former GOP Rep. John Faso, who\u2019s assisting the plaintiffs.\u00a0Even the left-wing Brennan Center calls this \u201ca master class in gerrymandering.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The maps aim to cost New York Republicans four of their eight House seats, handing Democrats 22. Dems would also lock in their supermajority in the state Senate, with the GOP hemmed into as few as 15 of 63 seats. Dem lawmakers would then be even <em>less <\/em>beholden to voters. (So much for their claims to want to ensure democracy.)<\/p>\n<p>The court must rule by April 4, but Judge McAllister is reluctant to suspend upcoming elections for House and state Senate seats if new maps can\u2019t be drawn in time. Yet that would leave <em>unconstitutional<\/em> districts in place until next year, corrupting <em>this<\/em> year\u2019s elections. <\/p>\n<p>One good sign: The judge agreed to entertain possible remedies from plaintiffs, and state Board of Elections spokesman John Conklin confirms that the primaries can be pushed off until as late as Aug. 23 and still meet all federal requirements. Notably, a Maryland court just ordered a delay in June primaries there over redistricting litigation.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, as Faso notes, Democrats were fully aware of the time schedule when they opted to pull a fast one and rig the maps. Why reward them?<\/p>\n<p>Better to simply use for now some neutral map (plenty of options are publicly available) or even the one proposed by Republicans on the bipartisan commission that the Dems end-ran. Democrats might not like that, but they\u2019d have only themselves to blame.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
