The December 1 issue of “Capital”, a leading internet news source for information about New York state government and politics, has this lengthy analysis of whether redistricting reform may pass the 2011 session of the New York state legislature. The article seems to suggest that even though a majority of New York state legislators say they support redistricting reform, such reform will not pass unless the Assembly Speaker decides to support it.
SCOTUS WILL do something if the NY party hack MORONS fail to act.
See the 1964 gerrymander cases in SCOTUS — a mere 46 years ago.
How many folks over 46 years old on this list ???
Sorry – yours truly is one of such folks.
P.R. and App.V. — even in NY with its many New Age party hack MORONS.
Total Votes / Total Seats = EQUAL votes for each seat winner.
SOOOOOOOOO difficult for the party hack brain dead courts to understand.
When did NY get an Assembly Speaker TYRANT – DICTATOR – MONARCH ???
See U.S.A. Const – Art. IV, Sec. 4 — Republican Form of Government in ALL States = Democracy = NO evil moron monarchies / oligarchies — direct or indirect.

Add the redistricting conundrum to the campaign finance and ethics problems in the New York State legislature (another State Senator resigned two days ago because he’s about to plead to two felonies for using his public office for private gain. He didn’t run for reelection to the State Senate but did win the Putnam County Executive race and will apparently have to forego that as well because he may end up in prison for two years), and the new Governor will have quite a hammer to throw down at the legislature when January comes. Some kind of deals will have to be made about these issues because lots of incumbents won by narrow margins this time or lost outright, so Albany will be worth watching early next year!
