Show Notes
The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked a lower court order, preserving the current congressional district map for Staten Island in this years midterm elections. The six conservative justices voted to pause the change, keeping the current map in place for November. The district, held by Representative Nicole Malliotakis, covers all of Staten Island and part of south Brooklyn. The lower court had ruled that the districts lines dilute votes from Black and Hispanic voters, but Republicans appealed the decision. Justice Samuel Alito explained the stay by calling the lower ruling plain racial discrimination. The three liberal justices dissented, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor calling it federal overreach.
