New York Redistricting Lawsuit Could Cost House GOP Up to 6 Seats

Appeal of June ruling ordering revamp of state’s 26 Congressional districts to be heard Nov. 15 is among suits that could affect 14 GOP-held House seats in 2024

Lawsuits challenging post-2020 Census congressional maps could see as many as 18 House incumbents across a dozen states—including up to 14 Republicans—campaigning in 2024 in districts different than those they won in 2022.

Most were filed by Democrats and received a boost in June 2023 when the United States Supreme Court ruled Alabama’s Republican-led Legislature redistricting plan disadvantaged black voters and violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
