Despite Republican opposition, Dewey pushed a reapportionment of New York state legislative districts not revised since 191%. Democrats and some Republicans called it unconstitutional. Dewey, promising reapportionment in 1942, remained firm as the Republican legislature approved the measure and the state’s highest court later upheld it.
