New York is joining the fight to redraw congressional maps, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and other state leaders said they would begin the process of redistricting in New York to benefit Democrats in response to Texas Republicans plans to alter that states congressional map ahead of schedule to create more GOP seats.
Said Hochul: If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give themselves an advantage, then they are leaving us no choice. We must do the same.
