ALBANY Republican lawmakers in the state Legislature on Friday blasted their Democratic counterparts or what they described as a move to eliminate minority voices in the redistricting process following a vote to amend the state Constitution earlier this week.
The legislation approved by both chambers earlier in the week was the second time legislators have voted on the constitutional amendment, which seeks to speed up the redistricting process after the coronavirus pandemic delayed the U.S. Census count last year and neutralized the often highly politicized process.
One of those adjustments included eliminating the two-pronged approach for how the maps are approved with one set of guidelines for when both houses are controlled by one party and another for when the houses are bipartisan.
