Just sitting here thinking about where Joe Pinion could be in the polls right now if he could have raised Amy McGrath kind of money for his long shot run against a Senate Majority Leader.
It will be interesting to see if Pinion can do better in 2020 run against a Senate Majority Leader than McGrath did in 2018. This poll indicates that he could. So far Pinion has raised $96 million less than Amy McGrath did.
As of the last campaign finance filing Joe Pinion (R) has raised $400,875 for his #NYSen campaign vs. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D).
To put in context how insane #NYSen Charles Schumer polling at 52% would be, Schumer won 70% of the vote in 2016. He won his last election by over 43 points. Schumer is now only polling 9 points above his 2016 margin of victory! That's one heck of a swing.

A week late, but let's do a thread on the Alabama VRA case and what it might mean for redistricting in 2024. The Supreme Court is expected to reinterpret the VRA--one way or another--next spring, and the Court's new guidelines will change the way states approach redistricting. 1/
Earlier this year, a lower court ordered Alabama to redraw its map (left), which has had one Black-majority district since 1992. Plaintiffs convinced the court that the VRA required Alabama to draw two Black-majority seats (right, for one example). 2/ ImageImage
SCOTUS has long had a 3-factor test (the "Gingles factors") to determine when a VRA district is required:

1. A compact district can be drawn that is at least 50%+1 of a min. group
2. The minority is politically cohesive
3. Whites bloc vote to defeat minorities' candidates

Here's a supercut of #WISen candidate Mandela Barnes (D) bragging about how he & #WIGov Tony Evers (D) worked to cut Wisconsin's prison population in half by releasing convicted felons back onto the streets of Wisconsin. 1/6
To meet their political goal of cutting Wisconsin prison population in half Evers & Barnes released murderers & rapist back onto the streets of Wisconsin. In 1st half of 2022 they were averaging granting early release to 2 murderers & rapist per week👇 2/

It's amazing how some of the most damaging op-research against John Fetterman are just contemporaneous news reports about all the shady/possibly illegal stuff John Fetterman did while serving as Mayor of Braddock.

NY's Assembly maps which are the basis for all of NY's election districts have been ruled unconstitutional & will need to be redrawn for 2024. 1/4
By separating the Assembly lawsuit from the Congressional & state Senate lawsuit the petitioners were able to get a re-draw for those 2 maps this year as opposed to having to operate this election cycle on the legislature's illegal gerrymandered map. 2/4
If NY's Assembly maps were ruled illegal when the House & state Senate maps were tossed the difficulty of redrawing all of NY's election districts in time could have prevented the court from ordering a re-draw this year & allowed the Legislature's gerrymander to stand for 2022.

Quick hits on the new NY Congressional map: this will realistically swing between 16D-10R and 20D-6R, with each party having a couple other longer-shot targets. The key changes from Monday are a safer Malliotakis seat and splitting Suffolk by North/South Shore instead of E/W.
After being tantalized with the possibility of a compact South Brooklyn seat, the court's final map is somehow even worse for the Orthodox Jewish community than the first draft. Boro Park is split precisely down the middle, eliminating its influence.
With the huge exception of South Brooklyn, everything else south of I-84 is about as clean and no-nonsense as you could ask for. But the Upstate lines are still a mess, as Cervas's attempt to draw a "competitive" #NY19 creates a seat that runs from Watertown to Niagara.

Here is the DRA link to the proposed changes the Harkenrider Petitioners have submitted to NY Congressional map proposed by Special Master Jonathan Cervas. The proposed changes would have 1 fewer split county be more compact on almost all measures👇
davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::…
The most important proposed changes in the Petitioners map is it undoes the possibly illegal cracking of the Orthodox Jewish community in south Brooklyn & converts the #NY10 "Bill deBlasio Opportunity" district into an Orthodox Jewish opportunity district.
The Harkenrider Petitioners also cleans up the NY Special Master split of Buffalo and draws a much cleaner and more compact #NY24.
