I suspect there are, and if the election were held today, with new maps, the Pubbies would pick up the bulk of them, maybe in the high teens. It depends in part on whether New York gets a non partisan map, which would put a bunch of Dem CD's in play, which today I think they might well lose. Right now the environment for the Dems is just terrible. Who knows what it will be in 13 months, of course.

whoah whoah, NYS's Congressional map is not a Republican gerrymander (unlike the State Senate map which is an extreme gerrymander), it's a bipartisan compromise gerrymander.

A nonpartisan map would lead to huge upheavals in the State Senate power structure, but with much more minor ones to the Congressional map.

(Thanks to the smaller size of districts, it's harder to predict the State Assembly, which would still be Democratic, but might force harder primaries on incumbents depending on the lines)
