ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — A new congressional district map has been revealed by the New York State Legislature. The newest map comes 24 hours after lawmakers rejected a map drawn by the Independent Redistricting Commission.
Lawmakers must still vote on the newest map. The legislature looked at the Special Masters map from two years ago and commission’s version to create the map released on Wednesday.
Some changes were made to Capital Region districts.
In the 21st district in the North Country, it will no longer includes parts of Rensselaer County. Schoharie County will now be part of that district. The 20th district will now include parts of northern Rensselaer County, and the rest of the county will be in the 19th district.
The legislature plans on voting on this map on Wednesday.
