Democratic redraw move clears path for Malliotakis district shake-up
New York’s appellate court denied GOP appeals, allowing the state redistricting commission to draw new lines for Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ district. The change would convert Staten Island–Brooklyn territory from a Republican stronghold to a toss-up, potentially aiding Democrats in gaining House control. Republicans are pressing the case to the Supreme Court, with petitions due as candidates file to run in the 2026 elections.
