ALBANY, N.Y. — Republicans on Monday appealed a judge’s decision to throw out the lines<\/a> of New York City’s only GOP-controlled House seat, a case that could have national reverberations<\/a> in the fight for control of Congress. <\/p>\n

The appeal came just days after a judge ruled U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ Staten Island and Brooklyn district was drawn in a way that dilutes the power of its Black and Hispanic voters. The judge ordered the state\u2019s Independent Redistricting Commission to complete a new map by Feb. 6. <\/p>\n

The case was filed by an election law firm aligned with the Democratic Party. It came as part of a national gerrymandering fight<\/a> that started after President Donald Trump pushed to craft new congressional districts in Republican-controlled states such as Texas. <\/p>\n

Republicans filed appeals to both a mid-level appeals court and to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeals, rejected congressional maps<\/a> that had been seen as helping Democrats and directed a court-appointed expert to redraw districts. It then threw out those maps<\/a> before the 2024 congressional elections. It was not immediately clear when the Court of Appeals would take up the most recent case. <\/p>\n

The state’s current House districts were drawn by Democrats<\/a> in the state Legislature, after they rejected a proposal<\/a> from the state\u2019s bipartisan redistricting commission. New York state is currently represented in the House by 19 Democrats and 7 Republicans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALBANY, N.Y. — Republicans on Monday appealed a judge’s decision to throw out the lines of New York…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":546622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[240398,5229,347,20148,356,57,27383,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,80,2068,22204,61,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-546621","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-240398","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-article","11":"tag-black-experience","12":"tag-courts","13":"tag-general-news","14":"tag-hispanics","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-newyork","18":"tag-newyorkcity","19":"tag-ny","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-politics","22":"tag-race-and-ethnicity","23":"tag-redistricting","24":"tag-u-s-news","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-united-states-of-america","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","29":"tag-us","30":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115966618163298964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
