New York GOP appeals new congressional map directly to Supreme Court
Confidence requires clarity.
New York Republicans have filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Court for a stay on a state court’s redistricting decision that jeopardizes New York City‘s only GOP district.
In their emergency application directly to the federal Supreme Court, the state’s Republicans requested a stay of previous orders that ruled in favor of Democrats’ argument that the current map marginalizes minority voters in the state’s 11th District, which has covered Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn since 1980.
State Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman sided with the Democratic petitioners in January. He ruled that the state’s redistricting commission must redraw its 2024 congressional map in February, halting any elections scheduled under the current map.
The Republicans’ Supreme Court filing is in response to Pearlman’s ruling, which Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) appealed. She is at risk of losing her seat under a new map.
“The decision by Justice Pearlman prevents any congressional election in the entire State of New York and will result in extreme disruption of the election process in our state,” New York GOP Chairman Ed Cox said in a statement. “The decision is flawed on many bases, as the submissions to the Supreme Court of the United States make clear.”
Republicans initially contested Pearlman’s ruling to the state’s Court of Appeals. By filing that motion, the Republicans put a stay on the order in the ruling that required the redistricting commission convene to redraw the map by Feb. 6.
Republicans filed the Thursday emergency application with the federal Supreme Court in order to put a stay on the order in Pearlman’s ruling that no future elections can be held under the 2024 map. The state’s Republicans argued that failure to grant a stay on this aspect of the ruling “will prevent the election from beginning on time, inflicting ‘serious and irreparable harm'” on New York voters.
Cox continued calling the current makeup of NY-11 one that is “compact, reflects communities of interest, and is politically competitive.”
Malliotakis has served in the House since 2021. She defeated her last two Democratic opponents by 23.5% and 28% margins in 2022 and 2024.
“Despite having a voter registration advantage in New York’s 11th Congressional District, Democrats can’t beat me on merit, policy, and debate. So what do they do? They file a meritless lawsuit claiming our district disenfranchises minorities to take out the first minority to represent the district and …
