Redistricting and Voting Law

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, whose Staten Island–Brooklyn NY‑11 seat would be affected, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block a New York appellate order directing the state’s redistricting commission to redraw the district, alleging Democrats are attempting to racially gerrymander her out of Congress. Republicans have filed emergency appeals and the Trump Justice Department backed requests for stays amid urgent timing — candidate petitioning for the 2026 cycle begins next Tuesday — and Malliotakis urged the Court to act by Monday.
