The scenario laid out by the judge would mean New Yorkers would vote for congressional representatives—elected to two-year terms—in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It would be contingent on the GOP lawsuit being successful and surviving any subsequent appeals.
Acting Supreme Court Justice Patrick McAllister of Steuben County presides over a hearing on the GOP's redistricting lawsuit.Acting Supreme Court Justice Patrick McAllister of Steuben County presides over a hearing on the GOP's redistricting lawsuit.A New York judge said Thursday he will allow the state’s 2022 election process to proceed, despite an ongoing legal challenge over whether Democrats drew new congressional and legislative district lines to their party’s benefit.
Acting Supreme Court Justice Patrick McAllister handed Republicans a series of procedural wins early in the hearing, declining the Democrats’ bid to have the lawsuit dismissed and ordering them to produce evidence during the discovery process. The scenario laid out by the judge would mean New Yorkers would be asked to vote for congressional representatives – who are elected to two-year terms – in 2022, 2023 and 2024. But it would be contingent on the GOP’s lawsuit being successful and surviving any subsequent appeals.
John Faso, a former Republican congressman from the Hudson Valley who is helping lead the party’s efforts against the new maps, said he still wants the courts to block the district lines from taking effect in this year’s elections, though McAllister clearly cast doubt on that. At least one of McAllister’s rulings Thursday is likely to be appealed. Craig Bucki, an attorney representing legislative Democrats, suggested his clients will likely challenge the judge’s ruling requiring them to provide discovery evidence to the Republican attorneys, which the GOP hopes could help prove that Democrats acted in their own favor.
