New York Governor Kathy Hochul delivered a forceful rebuke this week of the latest redistricting efforts in Texas, denouncing them as a racially discriminatory power grab orchestrated by Republicans — and warning that Democrats across the country must not allow history to repeat itself.

Unlike most states, New York delegated redistricting powers to a 10-member bipartisan commission in 2014, under then-Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. The commission draws up maps that can be approved or rejected by the State Legislature. The process was approved by New York voters in a statewide referendum.
