New York judge orders redrawn map after ruling GOP-held district unconstitutional
A New York state judge ruled that the Staten Island-based 11th Congressional District was drawn unconstitutionally, diluting Black and Latino voting power, and ordered the nonpartisan redistricting commission to redraw the map by Feb. 6. The decision is likely to be appealed and could reshape the state’s congressional map ahead of the midterms by potentially pairing Staten Island with parts of Lower Manhattan.
