Congressional and state Senate candidates are in limbo facing the prospect of campaigning without knowing their district lines after New York’s highest court rejected maps drawn by Democrats earlier this year.
In a split decision on Wednesday, the Court of Appeals cleared the way for a court-appointed special master to draw new congressional and state Senate maps, invalidating a set of Democrat-drawn districts that were first put into place earlier this year for the 2022 elections.
For Zimmerman, that means he’s going to continue campaigning in Westchester – even if there’s a chance it may not be in his district in the end. DiFiore’s majority ruling made clear the courts are on board with a “bifurcated” primary, meaning the governor, lieutenant governor, state Assembly and local primaries would be held as scheduled June 28th, with the congressional and Senate races held later.
“The decision by the Court of Appeals has huge impacts on the city of New York and the elections overall, both operationally, fiscally and everything in between,” said Vincent Ignizio, deputy executive director of the New York City Board of Elections. In the most recent executive budget proposal from Mayor Eric Adams for the fiscal year starting July 1st, the proposed budget for the city BOE is $95 million dollars less than this year’s -- at just $136 million -- a figure that will inevitably increase with the addition of another primary contest later this summer.
As the Democrats drew the lines, 22 of the state’s 26 congressional districts would have had a Democratic enrollment edge, giving the party hope it could flip two or three of the eight districts currently held by Republicans. On the state Senate side, the maps would have given an additional two districts to New York City, though the court threw those maps out not because they were gerrymandered but because Democrats didn’t follow proper procedure for drawing them.
