Editorial: Another twist in the primary story

The decision by the New York State Court of Appeals to deny the appeal case of New Baltimore attorney and child advocate Gary Greenberg, who sought to delay the primaries until August, adds another twist in the story of this already confounding election season.

In April, the State Court of Appeals ruled that congressional and state Senate maps drawn by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul were unconstitutional. An “independent master,” in May, handed in a new set of maps creating more balanced and competitive districts.
