Democrats want to redraw New York's map -- their own state law may not let them
The Supreme Court has narrowed the Voting Rights Act, stripping its power to mandate minority districts -- and now Democrats want to use the ruling to remap New York, if their own state law doesn't stop them first.
TL;DR
- Supreme Court has limited the Voting Rights Act's power regarding minority districts.
- Democrats are considering using this ruling for New York's redistricting.
- New York's own state law might impede these redistricting efforts.
