The new census data documenting sizable growth in New York City and its surrounding communities in comparison to Upstate New York means "it will be even easier than we thought for Democrats to eliminate a Republican district upstate," Wasserman said.
Downstate, Wasserman says the new maps could "easily" be redrawn to turn GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’s Staten Island/Brooklyn district and Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin’s Long Island district into blue strongholds.
Reed, the retiring GOP congressman, said he expects Democrats in Albany to use all their political levers to redraw districts in their favor in an effort to preserve Democrats’ majority in the House. He called out Democrats for "hypocrisy" for railing against political gerrymandering elsewhere, while fully embracing gerrymandering when they are in power.
Reed thinks the most likely scenario would be New York GOP representation in Congress going down from eight seats to four seats after the 2022 maps are drawn.

Whistling past the graveyard, Dims.
So what, why still lose seats.
They still lose seats.
In their lack of foresight when THE GOP ran the state senate v the Assembly Dems agreed to hand redistricting to a Joint partisan committee
It all balances out. There are 271,339 democrats in Utah that zero representation, unless you count Mittens.
Creating a bloodbath for America.
New York isn’t hurting enough. With that or the typical New York voter isn’t as intelligent as a worm, who knows to turn away from pain.
Andrew Cuomo would never have resigned if it hadn't been determined that he was of no further use to the party.
Look what the Pennsylvania corrupt state court did.
They ordered the legislature to rewrite the congressional districts to favor democrats. Then when the legislature produced yet another map, the court still refused it and submitted their own map that took away 5 Republican districts.
The court did this even though the constitution gives the legislature the authority to create congressional districts.
When the PA legislature appealed to the USA Supreme Court, the Supreme’s (led by John Roberts) refused to hear the case.
/triple spit.
They have good representation then.
I’m all for a Democratic bloodbath.
New York City added 680,000 people while upstate lost population. Just sayin’
Thought this was the Babylon Bee.
And Colorado and Oregon both gained a seat, New York lost one.
New York State, as a whole, lost population. Productive people left for greener (and less taxed) pastures. Who came in? People looking to access the lucrative welfare. Third World refugees. Illegal immigrants. Yeah. The future is so bright, I gotta wear shades...
What about a Democrat Party bloodbath because they are the party of disgraced Cuomo?
Have a friend living in New York (Upstate) that leaves for their home and their first fall season in the Texas Panhandle on Sunday. They purchased a small cottage along Lake Ontario and will stay in that two months a year during the summer and when they come to NY to visit. Look forward to seeing them on their trip out West.
They are sad about leaving, but their two daughters live out West and they have a son living in Toronto. They said it’s just too expensive for them as retirees to live in New York vs. Texas.
