A New York Judge is ordering a Republican-held U.S. House district be redrawn, calling its configuration unconstitutional in a Wednesday ruling.

The decision is a major win for Democrats, who could vie for an additional seat in the House as 2026 midterms approach. New York’s 11th Congressional District is represented by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), the city’s only Republican district.
