Courtney Ward reports for News10 in Albany that it is now official: the map of state Assembly districts will be different in 2020, 2022, and 2024. On April 24, New York state lawmakers voted for a new, third redistricting map, this one from the Independent Redistricting Commission. Most of the district lines are similar to the ones used in the 2022 election. “The single most effected district was the 101st. We called it the snake district; some called it an abomination. But it was a very, very long, thin district that reached from as far as southern New York near Westchester, all the way up to the Syracuse area. Some places or many places only a single town wide,” explained Charles Nesbitt, Vice Chair of the Independent Redistricting Commission. The 2020 maps were drawn ten years ago, and then, after the census count, the bipartisan commission could not agree on a map for 2022 and instead produced two different maps of state Senate, Assembly, and Congressional lines, which the Legislature rejected. Then Albany lawmakers drew their own maps of their own districts for the 2022 elections. Now a third set of maps will change the 2024 Assembly election. Read more about this story at News10 in Albany.
