Feels like New York -- which has a new, extremely convoluted, possibly about-to-be-amended, and maybe circumventable commission-based redistricting process -- isn't getting enough attention in the discussions of how redistricting will affect 2022.
For decades, New York's districts have been drawn as bipartisan, incumbent-protection plans. If Democrats can wrest full control of the process, they could draw a significantly more favorable map for themselves.
The wrangling over this in Albany is going to be extremely complex and I can't really figure out what result is likely, but it's something I'd read a long reported piece about ;)
If Democratic politicians get to draw the lines, it's not terribly difficult to draw a New York state congressional district map with 25 Democratic districts and one (1) GOP vote sink upstate.
