Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) on Jan. 26 appealed a New York court order that struck down her congressional district as violating the state constitution.

Malliotakis and a group of voters in New York’s 11th Congressional District, which covers the borough of Staten Island and southwestern Brooklyn, filed appeals at both the New York State Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, and the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court. They have also applied to stay the judgment against her district boundaries, pending the appeal.
