He now has no excuse for not ordering new ones for the 2022 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Patrick McAllister said it was \u201chighly unlikely\u201d new maps could be ready in time for New York\u2019s primaries in June and the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> election in November, so ordering them for this year risked leaving voters without legitimate representation.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cprudent course,\u201d he said, would be to use the Democrats\u2019 maps, even if he rules them unconstitutional, and \u201cif necessary, allow an election process next year if new maps need to be drawn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hah! Last week, a Maryland judge ordered a new congressional-district map for the state after finding that the one drawn by that state\u2019s Democratic-controlled legislature illegally disenfranchised GOP voters. She set a Wednesday deadline, and, guess what: By Monday \u2014 just days later \u2014 Democrats produced a new map. New York Dems can surely move as fast. <\/p>\n<p>Besides, the Board of Elections says primaries can be held as late as Aug. 23 and still meet federal requirements. So there\u2019s plenty of time.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>But McAllister has no excuse for keeping an unconstitutional, pro-Dem map in place. It\u2019s clearly designed to cut New York\u2019s GOP seats in Congress from eight to just four (while Dems get 22) and leave just 15 of 63 state Senate seats in Republican hands. If he\u2019s truly worried about legitimate representation, that plan must <em>never<\/em> take effect.<\/p>\n<p>And the case against it, by the way, itself got stronger with the Maryland decision: The same gerrymandering expert, Sean Trende, testified in both the Maryland and New York cases that the Dems\u2019 maps were gerrymandered (here, with Gov. Kathy Hochul\u2019s backing) to squash political competition. That clearly violates New York\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, McAllister has been open to plaintiffs\u2019 pleas and suggested remedies. Final arguments are due Thursday, and he\u2019s expected to decide by Monday. With plenty of time to order the right thing, he has no grounds not to.\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.
