Supreme Court Keeps NY-11 Map Intact in Malliotakis Redistricting Fight
The U.S. Supreme Court, by a conservative majority, blocked a New York state court order to redraw Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’s 11th District (Staten Island and part of Brooklyn) over claims of racial vote-dilution, keeping the map intact. Malliotakis praised the ruling, while three liberal justices dissented; Justice Alito wrote that the prior ruling amounted to unadorned racial discrimination.
