Lawsuit challenges the boundaries of the only GOP-held congressional district in New York City

A lawsuit filed Monday seeks to redraw the boundaries of the only congressional district in New York City represented by a Republican, arguing that its current configuration unconstitutionally dilutes the power of Black and Latino voters. President Donald Trump has pressured Republican-led states to redraw House districts to increase his party's chances of maintaining control of the House, leading to a flurry of redistricting efforts across the country. Democrats have launched their own counter measures, but those efforts have often been blunted by laws intended to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
