"The Supreme Court has been chipping away at our elections for years. It is clearly carrying out Donald Trump's will with this decision, Hochul said in a social media post following the SCOTUS decision."
"New York has always led the fight for voting rights and we'll lead again. I'm working with the Legislature to change New York's redistricting process so we can fight back against Washington's attempts to rig our democracy."
"The recent SCOTUS decision in Louisiana v. Callais raised concerns among voting rights advocates. The court struck down Louisiana's proposed redistricting map that would create an additional majority Black voting district."
"Louisiana's Republican governor, Jeff Landry, postponed elections so that new maps can be drawn, potentially eliminating one or both majority Black voting districts."
Following a Supreme Court ruling on a Louisiana case, Republican-led states like Alabama and Tennessee are redrawing electoral maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. In contrast, New York Democrats are unlikely to engage in redistricting before the elections due to a SCOTUS decision that paused redistricting efforts in New York City. Governor Kathy Hochul plans to encourage legislative changes to redistricting rules, but constitutional amendments will take years. The SCOTUS ruling raised concerns about voting rights, particularly regarding majority Black districts in Louisiana.
