New York's highest court has ordered the state to redraw its congressional lines.
The court’s decision errs on the side of Democrats, who look to retake control of the House of Representatives next year.
The state is currently using lines that were drawn by a special master last year after a long court battle.
The Independent Redistricting Commission has until Feb. 28 to draw up new congressional lines.
Jeffrey Wice, an adjunct professor and senior fellow at New York Law School, where he also directs the New York Census and Redistricting Institute, joined host Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Tuesday night to talk more about the impact of this decision.
“What the court did today was try to put the process back on track to show that it could work,” Wice said. “That the legislature can still do its job followed by the commission completing its work as well.”
