I thought people wanted young blood? What happened?

Patel was also an Obama Democrat. Both Nadler and Maloney were always a little contrarian with both Obama and Biden.

So it was redrawn and put a lot of incumbent democrats going against each other.

7. What Went Wrong with New York's Redistricting

The process of drawing new voting maps was a mess, but don’t blame courts.

The latest round of redis­trict­ing in New York State was a mess, with courts throw­ing out the maps passed by the legis­lature, followed by a rushed process to get court-drawn maps in place in time for a delayed primary. In the end, the maps adop­ted by the court are among the most compet­it­ive and polit­ic­ally balanced in the nation — New York is one of only a hand­ful of states where compet­i­tion increased rather than decreased after redis­trict­ing. But the treat­ment of some communit­ies, espe­cially in New York City, and the lack of time to have a robust, parti­cip­at­ory process for input on the new maps left many deeply dissat­is­fied. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.
