NY Democrats Push Through New Congressional Map and Limit Challenges

TL;DR Summary
New York Democrats rushed through new congressional maps that favor their party, and then passed a law to limit legal challenges to the changes in certain Democratic-leaning counties. The move has sparked outrage and accusations of undemocratic behavior from Republican lawmakers, who argue that the maps were designed to favor incumbents. The controversial changes come after the state's highest court ordered a do-over for the maps, and with potential lawsuits looming, the Democrats are facing criticism for their handling of the redistricting process.
