    Of the maps they mention in Florida, Alabama, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio, NY was the only map proposed by Democrats which was struck down. I think this is simply checks and balances at work (other than North Carolina which is antithetical to how it should work).

    I think Politico’s take is noting how of the 60% of the state’s congressional districts that were redrawn and gerrymandered to benefit Republicans have been struck down, and with those barriers removed, Democrats have a chance. With North Carolina districts being redrawn by Republicans, it might be 2 steps forward, one step back for Democrats.
