A stunning decision redrawing maps for New York Congressional districts has set off a scramble for seats, after a number of representatives found they no longer live in their districts, and others will have to run against each other. MKramerTV reports.
has set off a fierce scramble for seats, after a number of representatives found they no longer live in their districts, and others will have to run against each other.
As CBS2's Marcia Kramer reported Tuesday, one consultant called it the Congressional equivalent of"The Hunger Games." To hear angry Democrats tell it, the map redrawing the districts has created a circus -- a game of musical chairs where several lawmakers could find themselves without a seat when the music stops.
"A special master comes out with a map that puts four Black members of Congress in the same district? So, yes, we have a problem with these maps. It would make Jim Crow blush," Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said.
"What we have is a judge appointing a master that has created a very hyper-partisan set of maps for these Congressional districts that is basically going to create the Democratic 'Hunger Games' here among our delegation in New York," political consultant Phil Walzak said.
