Judges Waterman, Ryan, and Levet said federal one person one vote rights outweigh state constitutional questions. The ruling, amid disputes, prompts immediate reaction from State Senate leaders and Democratic campaign officials.

Plan A Would Give Louder Voice To Rensselaer County
Plan A received a federal court nod and would create two Assembly seats for Rensselaer County, including most towns and Troy, while splitting Cohoes with Saratoga County. The plan would dilute the county's Senate influence by placing parts of Albany Warren and other areas into new districts and moving Rensselaer into the 47th Senate District.
