New York’s highest court threw out the Democratic Party-favoring congressional lines on Wednesday and ordered a lower court, with expert assistance, to redraw them.
The Court of Appeals agreed with lower courts that found Democrats violated the state Constitution’s ban on partisan gerrymandering, and failed to follow the proper redistricting procedure. The court also threw out the state Senate maps.
