ALBANY – Fourteen plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic lawmakers on Thursday, alleging the new congressional and legislative district lines approved are unconstitutional.
The individuals claim in court papers that the new maps violate a 2014 state law establishing the process to redraw district lines and further, that the lines are gerrymandered to favor Democratic incumbents.
“The People of New York in 2014 enshrined in the New York Constitution an exclusive process for enacting replacement congressional and state legislative districts, while also prohibiting partisan and incumbent-protection gerrymandering,” wrote attorneys Bennet J. Moskowitz, George H. Winner, and Misha Tseytlin in the lawsuit filed in Steuben County Supreme Court.
