Summary
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., has filed a petition with the Supreme Court to stop a Democrat-backed bid to gerrymander her congressional district in New York. The New York State Supreme Court ruled that her district unfairly dilutes the power of Black and Latino voters. Malliotakis argues that the court’s decision is a “recipe for unconstitutional chaos” and that she herself is Latino, making the claim of disenfranchisement “ridiculous.” The case is part of a larger redistricting battle across the United States.
