The Supreme Court sided with Republicans, halting a lower court ruling that would have required New York to redraw the boundaries of its only GOP-held congressional district for the 2026 elections. The district, held by Nicole Malliotakis, covers Staten Island and a small part of Brooklyn. A state court had previously ruled the district unfairly diluted the power of Black and Hispanic voters and ordered a new map. This decision is a victory for Republicans in the national redistricting battle that impacts control of the House of Representatives. The dispute is part of a larger national trend of partisan redistricting, with both Republicans and Democrats engaging in gerrymandering. The Supreme Court has allowed challenged maps in California and Texas to be used in the upcoming elections.
