The Nassau County vote to possibly change the county’s legislative districts ended in a 5-5 tie right down party lines Monday.
Democrats and Republicans on the Nassau County Temporary Districting Advisory commission did not approve any of the proposed redistricting maps for the county.
"The Democrats have been fighting for a non-partisan, transparent process since day one,” says Dave Mejias, chair of the Democratic delegation of the Redistricting Commission. “The Republicans have been fighting just to keep the status quo, to keep their incumbents in power, even if it means an illegally, partisan, gerrymandered map."
