New York's Top Court Orders Redrawing of Congressional Districts, Potentially Shifting House Control

New York's highest court has ordered the state to redraw its congressional map, giving Democrats a boost in their bid to control the US House of Representatives in the 2024 election. The court's decision overturns last year's map, which helped Republicans flip four seats and gain a majority in the House. The state's bipartisan Independent Redistricting Commission will now create a new map, with the Democratic-controlled legislature having the final say. Republicans are likely to challenge any map they see as gerrymandered by Democrats.
