Judge Declares NYC’s 11th Congressional District Unconstitutional Orders Redraw of District

A New York State Supreme Court judge ruled that the current configuration of New York’s 11th Congressional District is unconstitutional, citing its dilution of Black and Hispanic voting power. The court ordered a redraw by the Independent Redistricting Commission by February 6. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican, condemned the ruling as a partisan attempt to undermine her seat. The decision has sparked a potential appeal from Republicans as the nation braces for congressional redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms.
