New York critical for democrats in ten year process of redrawing constituencies. 26 state locations offer party one of richest opportunities for use mapping power in your favor. democrats currently have a 19-8 advantage in congressional delegation, but drew a card that gives them three extra seats, increasing their lead to 22-4 (New York is losing a seat in Congress because of population loss). It would be give in party 85% of seats in Congress in State Joe Biden won with about 61% of in vote.

Democrats saw this advantage as a necessary effort to counter aggressive Republican attempts to distort county lines. add Republican seats in places like Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia. “For the Democrats, the maximum fraud in New York was almost a prerequisite for any chance of holds the House of Representatives,” Dave Wasserman, a redistricting expert, said in Cook’s non-partisan political report.
