Gov. Hochul’s latest redistricting threat is dangerous and undemocratic

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.

So what?  She's a democrat so this is perfectly acceptable to the MSM and courts. :whistle:

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?
