A judge on Friday ruled that the State Assembly district maps drawn up by Albany Democrats earlier this year are unconstitutional and should be redrawn, but the present maps will remain in effect for the June 28 primary and November general election this year.
The ruling was signed by Susanna Molina Rojas, the chief clerk of the Manhattan Supreme Court Appellate Division, and notes that the districts will have to be redrawn in time for the 2024 election, but that the unconstitutional maps will still have to be used for the June 28 primary because there simply is not enough time to redraw the maps in this cycle, and delaying the primary is no longer feasible.
