Case Information
A state court challenge to the process of drawing state Assembly lines, following the decision in Harkenrider v. Hochul with respect to the congressional and Senate maps.
On May 25, 2022, the trial court rejected the petition, finding it untimely. On June 10, 2022, the appellate court confirmed that the challenge was untimely for the 2022 elections, but reversed to allow petitioners to press their challenge for maps beyond 2022.
On Oct. 12, 2022, the trial court directed the state’s independent commission to present new Assembly proposals to the legislature, no later than Apr. 28, 2023, and further modifying contingent process deadlines. On Jan. 24, 2023, that decision was affirmed on appeal.
