Did Democrats fly too close to the sun?
There are layers to how problematic New York’s congressional maps are if you’re a Democrat. There’s the national problem—losing a couple of seats in this very blue state means the Dems are going to have to fight harder if they want to remain in power in Washington.But then, there’s the way these new maps have turned the party against itself.
At the end of February, Democrats looked like they were doing great, and they started popping the Champagne a little bit too early because in March, things turned. Democrats had gotten some great state court rulings in Pennsylvania and North Carolina overturning Republican gerrymanders. They did well with the commission states like New Jersey and California. They more or less got the maps they wanted in Michigan.
I mean, you’ve really pointed to how crucial the courts were in this. Basically because of how the courts have ruled in response to Democratic maps, it’s possible to brazenly gerrymander in some states, like red states, but not others, mostly blue. And I think that’s a really important distinction.Because you look at, for instance, what this judge said about New York’s maps, and he says, “The court isn’t politically biased here,” which may be true.
