"Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to keep New York's 11th Congressional District intact helps restore the public's confidence in our judicial system and proves the challenge to our district lines was always meritless. The plaintiffs in this case attempted to manipulate our state's courts to use race as a weapon to rig our elections. That was wrong and, as demonstrated by today's ruling, clearly unconstitutional."
"Unfortunately, the politicization of New York's courts and its judges necessitated action from the nation's highest court. I thank the Justices who stopped the voters on Staten Island and in Southern Brooklyn from being stripped of their ability to elect a representative who reflects their values."
The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority halted a New York state court ruling that ordered redistricting of the 11th Congressional District represented by Republican Nicole Malliotakis. A state judge had determined the district was drawn to dilute the voting power of Black and Hispanic residents and instructed the Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw the map. The three liberal justices dissented from the decision. Malliotakis stated the ruling restores public confidence in the judiciary and proves the redistricting challenge was meritless. She characterized the plaintiffs' efforts as attempting to manipulate state courts and use race as a weapon to rig elections. The case originated when New York voters sued state election officials in October 2025 challenging the district lines, with Malliotakis intervening to defend the current map.
