But some sources said yesterday's State Court of Appeals rejection of Nassau County's district lines indicates the coming fight at the state level might be even more rancorous than usual.
The lines have been criticized as a violation of the federal Voting Rights Act for the way they pack and crack Nassau's growing minority populations, and the same team who drew them, Debra Levine and David Schaefer, are responsible for drawing the state's lines for 2012.
Schaefer and Levine were hired by Nassau County attorney John Ciampoli, who used to work with Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos when he was counsel for the Senate Republican Campaign Committee.
Will Governor Cuomo veto the partisan plan and put it into the hands of impartial judges?
