LATFOR will release a map with the state's new district lines for assembly and senate districts Thu., Jan. 26, with Greene County rumoured to be split into a new, 63rd Senate district with some other Albany County, and northern areas. The maps were due Wed., Jan. 25. According to the Times-Union, the delay was caused by an ongoing discussion about a constitutional amendment that would allow for a more independent redistricting process. Governor Andrew Cuomo campaigned on the promise of a more independent process. The paper reports that several parties -- Cuomo, Assembly Democrats, and Senate Republicans -- are hoping to pair the release with first-passage of the constitutional amendment required to change the process.
