We won! The New York Supreme Court (Appellate Division, Third Department) upheld Supreme Court Justice Joseph McBride’s decision to “declare void” the gerrymandered and illegal county legislative map enacted by the Broome County legislature. They found that the map violated New York State law and directed the county to draw a new map “without delay.”  

Below, please find the substantive documents filed by both sides below as well as the Hon. Joseph A. McBride's decision and order (in chronological order from oldest to newest). The files on this page may take time to load.
