ALBANY – Democrats in the state Senate have already come out and said they are filing suit against the state redistricting plan that was approved in a marathon session Wednesday night by lawmakers in Albany.
The lawsuit would most likely be a re-filing of a case they brought forward last month, where they argued the Republican majority in the Senate improperly created a 63rd district based on an improper reading of the State Constitution. The new plan calls for the creation of a 63rd Senate District in upstate New York. Democrats argue it was created as a means for Republicans to continue to hold a majority in the Senate.
