NEW: A court-hired mapmaker finalized New York's congressional districts and state Senate districts just after midnight on Saturday, putting them in place for the next decade barring any further lawsuits.
district maps early Saturday, putting them in place for the next decade barring any further lawsuits.
The court-approved maps were released four days after Cervas’ initial proposal set off a chaotic scramble whereby declaring which district they would run in – and, in the case of five districts, potentially pitting sitting members against each other. The maps also came after New Yorkers were allowed to provide input on the maps drawn by Cervas.
Cervas also made changes on Long Island, creating a district largely based on the South Shore in Nassau County. But he largely left Manhattan as he proposed on Monday, keeping Midtown in the new 12th Congressional District with the Upper East and Upper West Sides, setting up a potentially explosive primary between longtime Democratic Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler.
