Which party will control the New York Senate after November?

How is the NY State Senate map so GOP friendly? Dems have controlled the gov's mansion and State House since the last census. Do both chambers have to agree on a map, thus giving the nominally GOP Senate veto power over any plan that wouldn't benefit them?

I think court-drawn maps were taken off the table because Cuomo didn't veto the gerrymander:

Cuomo has a lot of explaining to do if he ever wants to be president. Luckily, Hillary seems to have crushed his dreams for the time being, and he should be old news by 2024.

Keeping Cuomo out of the White House could be the best thing Hillary's ever done
