Reply to comment by Responsible-Try-5228 in Andrew Cuomo says Zeldin coming within 5 points of victory ‘a real wake-up call’ by PichuLovy

Yup, had New York still had the redrawn maps, Democrats would be guaranteed to keep the House because it would have led to 7 more Democratic seats.

Cuomo destroyed Democrats' chances of winning the House.

Delusional. Dems would have still lost the seats in their version of the map based on the performance of election.

This was the proposed map dems wanted -https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-2022-maps/new-york/democratic_proposal/

We couldn't hold onto D4 with a 10+D lean in final map and you think we can take SI even with a 7+D lean in proposed? Nonsense. Would argue we would of lost all the germander created districts upstate anyway

Fact is even the final version of the map was still favorable to Dems and they still blew it and more. We lost the House bc of NY and it wasn't redistricting fault.

If Republicans are allowed to keep gerrymandering, it's stupid for Dems to not use it. That's not a fair election system.

They have been doing it for generations. Have you not seen AOC's district?

Grew up in Middletown and lived in Brooklyn for a bit after college. Currently reside in NH. Is there a residency requirement where redditors do not have to resort to deflection to avoid admitting things are not black and white?
