Court Orders Fresh Redistricting of NYC’s Only GOP-Represented District
A Manhattan judge ruled that New York’s 11th Congressional District—covering Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn—discriminates against Black and Latino voters and ordered the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw the district by February 6. The ruling, likely to be appealed, did not adopt the plaintiffs’ proposed map and could reshape NYC’s lone Republican seat held by Nicole Malliotakis, potentially linking Staten Island with Lower Manhattan or other configurations.
