Rep. Nicole Malliotakis filed an emergency appeal seeking to pause a decision to redraw her congressional district. The dispute could affect the district’s boundaries and the state’s election process.
A New York court ordered the lines of the 11th Congressional District redrawn after a lawsuit claimed the boundaries disenfranchised Black and Latino voters. Malliotakis’s attorneys argued that there was no compelling interest to use race to redraw the district, and she appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court for emergency relief.
The New York State Republican Elections Commissioner joined the appeal. Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox said the decision could disrupt the state’s election process. The filing seeks relief by Feb. 23, before ballot petitioning begins; the article says the dispute could have implications for Congress’s political makeup during the midterms.

Representative appealing the decision to redraw her congressional district
Part of a bigger story
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.
