Reply to comment by IRequirePants in Andrew Cuomo says Zeldin coming within 5 points of victory ‘a real wake-up call’ by PichuLovy
> Nadler's seat had a thin line snaking through Brooklyn
His district looked like that even before the recent redistricting. That wasn't even a partisan gerrymander, it was a way of linking Jewish communities on the UWS and Brooklyn.
The Dems' map was plenty greedy, but so were dozens of other maps across the country that the Republicans drew for themselves. Nearly all of those were allowed to stand, yet Cuomo's judges struck down the New York one — it's the asymmetry that's deeply unfair.

If it was linking Jewish communities why tf it included chinatown? Many asians like me saw it and realize it was a attempt to crack and pack the asian votes. Hence why that proposed district did not fly with us. Last I check racial gerrymandering is illegal

Two different Jewish communities.
