Rep. Nicole Malliotakis asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block a state court order that would redraw her congressional district, arguing that the election calendar leaves little time for appeals. The plaintiffs’ attorney said New York’s courts could resolve the dispute without federal intervention.
Malliotakis filed an emergency petition asking the Supreme Court to stop a Manhattan court decision that ordered changes to the 11th Congressional District. Her attorneys argued that waiting for state appeals could jeopardize the February 24 start of the election cycle and that the lower court’s order would cause constitutional and election-law problems. They asked the court to keep the existing district for the coming election.
The Manhattan court had ruled for four residents who argued that the district’s lines unlawfully dilute the voting power of Black and Latino residents. The plaintiffs’ attorney called Malliotakis’ appeal premature and said the state court system could handle the case. The lower court’s decision was temporarily paused while state appeals proceeded, and the U.S. Supreme Court had not responded to the petition.

Representative seeking Supreme Court intervention in a congressional redistricting case

4 OUTLETSMalliotakis asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block a state-court ruling that would redraw her congressional district ahead of the 2026 elections. Center outlets emphasize her argument that the election calendar leaves little time for appeals, while also including opposing arguments and the state court’s voter-impact rationale. Right-leaning outlets present the appeal as an effort to stop Democrats from eliminating New York City’s sole Republican-held House seat, giving Malliotakis’s side more space.
