It’s extremely unlikely shrill harridan Elise Stefanik is going to lose her seat if and when New York State Dems go scorched-earth gerrymander in retaliation for Red State fuckery elsewhere. The original 2022 plan, before the courts nixed it in favor of the “fairer” current map, had kept her vast, rural northern 21st District more or less intact and it’s hard to see how a redraw ever could given the constraints posed by Vermont, Quebec, and Ontario (you can see NY-21 shaded in orange in the image above). So while her anguish isn’t personally existential, it’s still fun to see her cry over the certain doom facing fellow Republican members of the Empire State’s US House delegation.
