New Assembly Maps Trickling Out Piecemeal

Assemblywoman Grace Meng

Assembly Members are getting the first look at their new(ish) districts tonight.

Maps drawn by the legislative redistricting task force, aka LATFOR, should be popping up in Assembly inboxes tonight, because members aren’t in session and in Albany to receive them in person. We can’t compare this process to the 2002 redistricting process, because email has changed everything.

It seems that members are only receiving images of their own districts in the emails, and not any information about other districts or a bigger picture of the state as a whole.

Assemblywoman Grace Meng, whose district is in Flushing, Queens, was kind enough to share her map with us.

As reported by the Daily News, the Assembly will make the full set of proposed districts public in the morning, when the Senate is also expected to release its maps.
