A New York judge has ordered new congressional and legislative maps to be drawn for the state after striking down maps drawn by the Democrat-controlled legislature, declaring those maps as having been “unconstitutionally drawn.”

Judge Patrick F. McAllister, an acting state Supreme Court justice in Steuben County, ordered the state’s legislature to draw new “bipartisanly supported maps” by April 11.
