Supreme Court grants Republicans’ request to pause order to redraw New York congressional map

The Supreme Court on Monday night cleared the way for New York to go forward with the 2026 elections using the state’s existing congressional map. Over the objections of the court’s three Democratic appointees, the justices granted a request from a Republican member of Congress, a group of voters, and state election officials to pause an order by a state trial court that would have required the state to redraw the map to add Black and Latino voters.
Justice Samuel Alito, who penned an opinion agreeing with the decision to put the order by Justice Jeffrey Pearlman of the New York Supreme Court, which is a trial court, on hold, called Pearlman’s order “unadorned racial discrimination.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who dissented from Monday’s ruling in an opinion joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, accused her colleagues in the majority of executing an “unexplained about-face” from its normal practice of staying out of cases involving state election litigation.

A state judge had ordered the boundaries be redrawn after ruling the district dilutes Black and Latino voting strength in violation of the state constitution.
The Supreme Court granted Malliotakis’s emergency application to block that ruling as the litigation proceeds, effectively restoring her existing district lines for the midterms.
The ruling appeared to split along ideological lines, with the three liberal justices publicly dissenting. Justice Samuel Alito voted in Malliotakis’s favor, saying the state judge’s order “blatantly discriminates on the basis of race,” while the other conservatives did not publicly disclose their votes.

The liberal justices accused their colleagues of an “about-face” that ignores “every limit” on federal courts’ authority.
“Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an election. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson
