Looks Like Nadler wins.

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

(130,956 posts)The process of drawing new voting maps was a mess, but dont 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 wasnt supposed to be this way.
