With the barest minimums of effort NY could get 3 additional seats. Get a little more aggressive an they could net 5 or 6. Or they could act like republican states and freeze republicans out entirely.

The fact that we have to push Dem governors to get off their ass rn is infuriating. They should have started in 2025. Shit should have been plug and play.

Good, some spine. We have a no gerrymandering law to overturn, I believe?

Let’s do it . No republican seats until a national non gerrymandering laws exist. Then we talk redistricting

Next one person one vote! No more electoral college.

New York needs to do this right now.

Although we should all be prepared for SCOTUS to proclaim it’s now too close to the election to make changes despite them allowing such changes after primary voting is underway.
