A New York appeals court agreed with the Democrats in a ruling issued Wednesday, and now the question becomes, should the Democratic NY state legislature create ridiculously gerrymandered districts akin to Republican districts in Florida and Texas?
Or do they take a chance at being responsible grown-ups?
At least Democrats get to make the argument.
The court ordered New York’s bipartisan redistricting commission to immediately restart the process that would have the practical effect of giving the Democrat-dominated State Legislature final say over New York’s 26 House districts for a decade.
NY has the chance to win back GOP House seats. Should they act just like the GOP?
It is not hyperbole to say that with today’s computers drawing districts to the block, New York could pick up ten to twelve seats.

GERRY WHO? How a redistricting ruling in NY can help Dems win back the House
A new court ruling will allow the Democrats in the NY legislature to redraw electoral maps in their own favor, just like the GOP does.

Should New York Democrats do it? Republicans are doing it in other states. What do you think?
