A New York judge threw out the boundaries of the only congressional seat in New York City represented by a Republican, ordering the state to redraw the district.
* The judge ruled the current district boundaries unconstitutionally diluted the votes of Black and Hispanic residents.
* The decision affects the district held by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, covering southern Brooklyn and Staten Island.
* Republicans are expected to appeal; Malliotakis called it a “frivolous attempt” by Democrats and said she’s confident Republicans will prevail.
