From @cinyc9, here's a comparison of the NY Assembly lines proposed by the commission today against the 2022 lines that were struck down on procedural grounds. Changes are modest in most of the state, although the most egregious district is gone: 1/ davesredistricting.org/join/30d4fc15-…
The most significant change is the cleanup of #AD101, a Catskills-to-Utica GOP sink that was a poster child for gerrymandering. The old map wasn't ruled a gerrymander, but this is likely a sign that the commission thinks unchecked gerrymandering won't be allowed. 2/ 
Elsewhere, changes are very modest, and virtually zero in NYC. Republicans picked up 5 seats on the old map in 2022, which was Dem-leaning, but not as egregious as the congressional Hochulmander or the 2010's Assembly map. 3/
What does this mean for the Congressional map? Not much. The IRC certainly seems aware of the courts striking down the Hochulmander, but because the old map was struck down on procedural grounds and not as a gerrymander, the IRC isn't defying the court by drawing similar lines.
