Lalor speaks with former Congressman John Faso who is leading Republican efforts against gerrymandering in the courts.  Faso argues that the newly drawn district lines violate a new provision of the New York State Constitution.  In 2014 the people of New York voted to amend the state constitution to include an explicit ban on partisan gerrymandering. Article III, Section 4, reads as follows: “Districts shall not be drawn to discourage competition or for the purpose of favoring or disfavoring incumbents or other particular candidates or political parties.”

The success or failure of Faso's efforts will impact not only the make up of New York's congressional delegation, but could determine whether or not Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats hold power in the US House.  Take a listen.
