NAACP files emergency petition to block Tennessee's newly approved redistricting plan

16. NY is a different case

because they have gone through several redraws over the past bunch of years, the last (successful) one netting a couple of seats in 2022 IIRC, but later attempts thwarted.

Here in PA, we went through a successful un-gerrymandering process back in 2018 that withstood many challenges, both state and federal, that resulted in our own state Supreme Court drawing the new lines. This allowed for (D)s to pick up 4 seats.

The operative reason was in our state Constitution that requires that districts be "compact and contiguous", which they obviously weren't before the redraw.

So each state has their own requirements.

But the bigger issue is that the SCOTUS "changed the rules" that had been in effect for the past 60 years, in order to supercharge the implementation of white supremacist ideology. So we are now seeing a new round of redrawing lines that will have an unknown effect until after the GE.
