New Jersey Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald (D) sponsored a piece of legislation that would require state-level districts to reflect the partisan leanings of the state in statewide elections for president, governor, and U.S. Senate. While New Jersey as a whole tends to vote Democratic, certain areas, particularly in the southern part of the state, tend to vote Republican. With this new legislation, these areas would have to be redrawn until they voted Democratic.
