New York City Representative Nicole Mallio is asking the Supreme Court to block Democratic efforts to 'racially gerrymander' her Congressional seat out of existence, a move she claims would aim to disenfranchise Latina voters in the area. The request comes after Democrats proposed a redistricting plan that would likely eliminate her Republican stronghold.
