Talk:New York's congressional districts

2012 Election Results?
All election results for 2012 are incorrect. Also, displayed districts are incorrect due to redistricting. Will be easier once national atlas updates congressional districts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookworm2002 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Fix?
Many of these maps show the wrong borough for the named districts -- e.g., maps of Brooklyn for Manhattan districts, maps of Manhattan for Brooklyn and Queens districts. Also note that maps for 6th and 16th districts are (incorrectly) identical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.129.33 (talk) 15:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Often when these redlinks are changed to blue ones, the results are VfD'ed as fictional places or illogical topics for articles (see the link under the 24th District). Perhaps someone familiar with the subject could spend some time fixing this? ESkog 23:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

ANOTHER FIX TO MAKE: New York's congressional districts were completely redrawn by court order in March 2012, the state primary is today, and so this is totally out of date (to be fair, a lot of members of Congress from NY haven't updated their official websites to reflect the new districts). I wish I had the time to remap everything myself, but I don't. Here's a link to an interactive map of the new districts the New York Times did three months ago. If anyone could deal with this, it'd be awesome. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.55.202.66 (talk) 15:13, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Education of our voters for computerization and Mal Functioning Eqipment in the last primary election of Feb. 2008
I am extremely disappointed with the amount of malfunctioning equipment in the 6th congressional district.

Recognizing that my representative was not supportive of the "People's Choice" it is hoped that he will aid his constituents in overcomping mal-functioning voting machines, as well as develope a mechanism for ensuring that the voters of his district are educated on utilizing the new voting machines for our up-coming election.

Voting Computerization within the Arverne Community
I do believe that it is necessary that all members of the Arverne Community are educated on the process of utilizing the new computerized voting machines, and I trust that my representative will ensure that we are ALL trained on the new technology.

District maps need to be updated
I don't know how the district maps are generated, but they really need updating. The correct current 9th district map, for instance, is here http://clarke.house.gov/district/interactivemap.htm CHE (talk) 16:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Should we delete the PDF links? They seem to date from 2002 and are totally obsolete. xod (talk) 05:58, 12 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am going to be attempting to add the current (since 2013) congressional district maps to this page. I will be reorganizing the page to streamline the page somewhat with the inclusion of the individual district maps, but will retain or expand the vast, vast majority of the information currently presented. I will also attempt to add current CPVI scores, as they seem to be available now, as part of this overhaul. Feedback is most welcome. --7partparadigm talk 4:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Incumbency date?
Should not the date represent time earliest contiguous term of office - even though the district number has changed? Congressional seniority is not based on "same district number" but on time in office. Listing everyone as though they just arrived :) is silly. Collect (talk) 11:44, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Hakeem Jeffries Picture
I was curious why his picture is different than the one on his wikipedia article. That picture seems to be of much better quality. I would change it to that if I knew how but unfortunately I am not great with the pictures part of Wikipedia... If someone could point me in the right direction or just make the switch, you'd get lots of appreciation from this editor... Immortal Horrors or Everlasting Splendors  17:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit request: 27th District
I would edit it myself, but I'm unsure--how are we listing the 27th District's representative now that Chris Collins has resigned ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:BFA0:22F:60EF:70DD:D686:12D7 (talk) 02:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

District Numbers prior to
Looks like creative Wikipedia editors CREATED district numbers for the first several elections. There is no reliable source - there cannot be - the editors created them (and created a "Note B" to explain that they were made up).

It was a very interesting exercise, but editorial inventions have no place in an encyclopedia that values Reliable Sources. I'm removing them. Jd2718 (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Historical boundaries
Why haven't we added any historical boundaries when we have for other states? Can someone please add them? Thanks! 2604:6000:130F:4FB6:F4A1:A9F7:FEB2:2B8 (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Which districts are for New York City?
I want to know which of the congressional districts belong to the city. It's pretty hard to find a list of just the city. RPI2026F1 (talk) 21:20, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
