New York Mid-Level State Court Invalidates U.S. House District Boundaries

On April 21, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth District, invalidated the new U.S. House district boundaries as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The decision is based on the State Constitution. Harkenrider v Hochul, 22-00506. The vote is 3-2. Both dissenters, Justices Gerald J. Whalen and Joanne M. Winslow, are Democrats. The majority comprises Republican Justice John V. Centra, and Democratic Justices Stephen K. Lindley and John M. Curran. Here is the decision. Thanks to ElectionLawBlog for the link.

The order gives the legislature until April 30 to draw new districts. It is extremely likely that the case will be appealed to the state’s highest state court, the Court of Appeals.
