The New York State Legislature is set to reject the congressional maps proposed by the independent redistricting commission, criticizing them as 'Maps that would make Jim Crow blush,' particularly for failing to represent working class Black and brown communities in the Bronx. The Democratic-controlled state Senate officially rejected the commission's maps with a vote of 17-40, opting to draw their own maps, a decision expected to back their own House map. This move, criticized as gerrymandering, rejects not only the commission's proposal but also maps drawn by an independent special master, sparking accusations of corruption and is sure to face legal challenges. It marks a pivotal moment in the state's politics, clearing the way for changes to the state's 26 congressional districts ahead of elections where control of the House is at stake.
