Latest Census figures show that people are continuing to leave New York:
“… New estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show nearly 73,000 New Yorkers moved out of state between July 2015 and July 2016. The decline was sharpest upstate … Overall, downstate New York continued to see modest population growth, centered on New York City. But that growth is being overshadowed by declines upstate …”
The next redistricting takes place in 2020 and goes into effect in 2022. Assuming they don’t collapse beforehand, this will be the end of the Senate Republicans.
So that means they get an even more radical far left stranglehold. Great.
Districts will shift south. There isn’t the population to justify them upstate.
