The New York Court of Appeals has order congressional district maps to be redrawn, giving Democrats a huge win in a case that could impact the balance of power in Congress.

The state Court of Appeals, in a 4-3 decision, said districts drawn just last year by a court-appointed specialist were a short-term fix and now can be discarded.

The map-making process will begin with the state’s bipartisan redistricting panel and the State Legislature the final say.
