Republicans have appealed Judge Jeffrey Pearlman’s ruling that struck down the Staten Island–Brooklyn NY‑11 congressional map for diluting minority voting power under the New York Voting Rights Act and ordered the Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw the district by Feb. 6. The appeal — filed in both a mid‑level appellate court and the state Court of Appeals — comes amid partisan accusations from New York GOP chair Ed Cox that Gov. Kathy Hochul and the attorney general declined to defend the 2024 map, and the dispute over this district, which has voted Republican in recent presidential and Senate contests, reflects a broader nationwide redistricting fight.
