This is an increase of three Democratic-leaning seats, a decrease of three Republican-leaning seats and a decrease of one highly competitive seat from the old map.<\/strong> If the map is enacted, it would likely set up Democrats to flip the open Republican-held 1st and 22nd districts, as well as Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis\u2019s 11th District. GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney would also be thrown into a competitive race against Democratic Rep. Antonio Delgado in the new 19th District.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-text\">\u201cSuch an egregiously biased map was only possible because of the weakness of New York\u2019s new bipartisan redistricting commission,\u201d FiveThirtyEight explained. \u201cUnder state law, the legislature may simply draw its own map after rejecting the commission\u2019s first two proposals. Even worse, the commission didn\u2019t even work as intended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/new-york-lawmakers-draw-redistricting-map-that-boosts-democrats\/ar-AATjoD2\">highlighted<\/a> by The Washington Post,&nbsp;the new map \u201cerases the upstate seat held by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R) and creates a deep blue district in the middle of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
