The new lines do not create districts that are either compact or contiguous
The NYS senate lines are the worst --- Savino's district has two very separated Brooklyn elements that are connected only by the waters touching the shores of Staten Island and Brooklyn --- the Gounardes district is all full of snaking slivers and one watery connection across the mouth of Sheepshead Bay
Nicole Malliotakis actually has the least to complain about --- and Toonces made out the best and seems OK on the Brooklyn side of the bridge
It's a good thing that the NYS Legislature didn't have some more time, or they might have tried some stuff that could have been even more complicated. one-sided, and outrageous
It sure looks like the NYS laws and NYS Constitution were violated in a heavy-handed and gross excercise of political might in Albany.
The best way to overturn any of these lines is to first attack the WHOLE process, and the resulting combined completely gerrymandered jigsaw puzzle of districts in the NY state courts --- and hopefully, then getting such a case into the U.S. Supreme Court in a way that doesn't take forever.
