<p>The top court in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> ordered on Tuesday the creation of a new congressional map, a move that bodes ill for Republicans who made gains in the blue state after the last redistricting cycle.</p>
<p>By a 4-3 vote, the New York Court of Appeals <a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/Decisions/2023/Dec23/90opn23-Decision.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> the Independent Redistricting Commission is allowed to redraw the lines ahead of the 2024 election. Whatever map comes out of the process, which has a deadline at the end of February, it will then need to be approved by the state legislature that is controlled by Democrats.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 2014, the voters of New York amended our Constitution to provide that legislative districts be drawn by an Independent Redistricting Commission,&#8221; Chief Judge Rowan Wilson <a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/Decisions/2023/Dec23/90opn23-Decision.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in an opinion. &#8220;The Constitution demands that process, not districts drawn by courts.&#8221;</p>
<p>The ruling stems from a legal challenge backed by Democrats and opposed by Republicans that followed a dramatic series of events over redistricting in 2022. After the commission failed to reach a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/28/nyregion/redistricting-maps-court-appeals.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consensus</a> on a map, state Democrats drew their own boundaries that the high court then <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/21/politics/new-york-court-congressional-map/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> as too partisan and tasked a special master to come up with a fix.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s decision is a win for democracy and particularly the people of New York. We are eager for the Independent Redistricting Commission to get back to work to create a new, fair congressional map — through the process New York voters intended,&#8221; Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA), chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, <a href="https://twitter.com/nicholaswu12/status/1734667849367474419" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement on Tuesday.</p>
<p>House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and New York GOP Chairman Ed Cox released a joint statement <a href="https://twitter.com/KevinFreyTV/status/1734677326498058539" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declaring</a>, “New York Republicans will not give up the fight against gerrymandering and for free and fair elections. The people of New York deserve better than this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Republicans won control of the House in the 2022 election cycle as they <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/09/2022-midterm-new-york-house-elections-republican-00065919#:~:text=New%20York-,Republicans%20pick%20up%203%20New%20York%20House%20seats%20with%20Long,as%20expected%2C%20a%20critical%20battleground." target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked up a few seats</a> in New York on the special master&#8217;s map. But their fortunes could be reversed in 2024 with the Empire State as a deciding factor.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Right now, Dems have a meager 15D-11R majority in NY&#39;s House seats. This ruling could put up to six GOP seats in deeper danger, including:<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY01?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY01</a> Nick LaLota (R)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY03?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY03</a> VACANT (R)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY04?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY04</a> Anthony D&#39;Esposito (R)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY17?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY17</a> Mike Lawler (R)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY19</a> Marc Molinaro (R)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY22?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NY22</a> Brandon Williams (R)</p>
<p>&mdash; Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) <a href="https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1734682145040584778?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;This was a 4-3 decision made possible by a leftward personnel shift on the NY court since &#8217;22, much as the GOP&#8217;s takeover of the [North Carolina] Supreme Court in &#8217;22 paved the way for Republicans to brutalize Dems w/ a new gerrymander this year in NC,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Right now, Dems have a meager 15D-11R majority in NY&#8217;s House seats. This ruling could put up to six GOP seats in deeper danger.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wasserman said the six GOP House members from New York who stand to be most negatively affected included Nick Lakota, Anthony D&#8217;Esposito, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, and Brandon Williams. He also listed New York&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District, which had been represented by Rep. George Santos (R-NY) until he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-expel-george-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expelled</a>. Santos will be replaced by the winner of a special election set for early next year.</p>
