Gov. Hochul’s latest redistricting threat is dangerous and undemocratic
By Post Editorial Board

Gov. Kathy Hochul and fellow Democrats are again threatening to rig New York’s congressional voting-district maps to win seats for their party.

And in mid-decade, no less, in clear violation of the state Constitution.

It’s sleazy, anti-democratic — and illegal.

Even Hochul admits it, but suggests Dems may do it anyway since Texas and Ohio are moving to draw up new districts in their states.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Dems changing the rules in the middle of the game to advantage themselves?  Nothing new in Dem dominated states.

In Mass, when there's a Republican Governor, they have any empty US Senate seat be filled by special election.  When there's a Dem Governor, they change the state laws to allow the Governor to appoint a replacement.

Constitutional and legal restrictions won't stop them, because who, at the state level, is going to stop them?  That's the beauty of being a 1 party state.  There's a whole corrupt apparatus to back any changes or policies, no matter the words on pieces of paper.  They'll ignore the words, re-interpret the words, or modify the context of the words.

Laws only have significance if they are enforced.  Who in NY state is going to stop Hochul and the Dems?
