Democrats and Republicans revealed their versions of potential redistricting maps for Nassau County on Thursday.

Both delegates presented their maps at the Temporary Districting Advisory Commission meeting.

The goal of the commission is to build a single nonpartisan map that benefits all Nassau County residents.

Both sides created their maps using census data and the municipal home rule law - drawing the lines with equal population, demographics and legal standards.

Democrats say the Republican map is politically driven

"The people pick their politicians and not the other way around and the Republican gerrymandered map allows the Republican politicians to pick their voters, not for the voters to pick their politicians," says TDAC Democratic Chair Dave Mejias

The Republicans' map was drawn in 2013 and their delegation claims it is legal - also saying there are flaws with the Democratic map.

"Their map actual starts from scratch - it has some defects in it," says TDAC Republican Chair Frank Moroney. "For example I don't believe their minority district have been in 50% Black population. When we dig down, we only got the maps yesterday afternoon."

Both delegations did agree there are flaws in both and are going to make changes and meet again.

There will be a public comment on Nov. 16 and the committee will vote on the maps on Nov. 21.

They then will go to the legislature.
