Judge Jeffrey Pearlman found the district diluted Black and Hispanic voting power and ordered the bipartisan Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw the map and submit a new plan by Feb. 6. Incumbent Rep. Nicole Malliotakis called the decision disenfranchising, arguing voters chose a Republican despite a Democratic registration advantage, and republicans characterized the ruling as partisan. The appeal was filed with both an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/landlord-groups-urge-supreme-court-to-end-pandemic-eviction-ban\/\" title=\"Landlord Groups Urge Supreme ... to End Pandemic Eviction Ban\">intermediate appeals court<\/a> and New York\u2019s court of Appeals; the challenge was brought by a Democratic-aligned election firm and comes amid a broader, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-to-know-about-voting-in-virginia-this-election-cycle\/\" title=\"What to know about voting in Virginia this election cycle\">nationwide redistricting fight<\/a> (including a recent controversial Texas map).
