"NY Democrats to Push Through Own Congressional Map Despite Opposition"

Democratic state lawmakers in New York are expected to reject a House map proposed by a bipartisan commission and back district lines they are drawing themselves, potentially fueling a Republican-backed legal challenge. The stakes are high as New York is home to swing seats that could determine control of the House next year. The Legislature's likely decision to embrace its own map comes after the state's top court determined the current map was only meant to be in place for a two-year election cycle. Lawmakers are working on a tight timeline, with the possibility of rejecting the commission-drawn map and introducing their own House map this week.
