US EditionNew York Republican asks Supreme Court to restore her congressional district
Malliotakis argues redistricting violates Equal Protection Clause; seeks emergency Supreme Court relief before ballot petitioning starts Feb. 23.
- On Friday, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a stay of the lower court order to redraw New York's 11th district, with a Feb. 23 relief deadline.
- Following a lawsuit filed in October by plaintiffs and Elias Law Group, a Manhattan judge last month found the current map dilutes Black and Latino voters, prompting a redrawing order.
- The filing argues the remedy is driven by race and therefore triggers Equal Protection scrutiny, contending it treats race as the predominant factor raising constitutional concerns.
- With nominating petitions due to begin Feb. 24, Malliotakis and GOP officials say timing makes swift review essential as the filing seeks emergency relief by Feb. 23 and notes the Feb. 6 deadline has passed.
