The U.S. Supreme Court must today put a stop to a stupid, last-minute congressional redistricting order from a Manhattan judge that will scramble New York’s elections. It is all part of a Democratic effort to undo the state’s superbly fair district map by targeting New York City’s sole Republican member of Congress, Nicole Malliotakis.

The timing is critical because petitioning for candidates starts tomorrow and if the decree from Acting Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman remains in place there will be no congressional districts, as they must be redrawn.

Not only will candidates for Congress, incumbents and challengers, not be able to collect signatures, no one will know where lines may be. It might be months. And statewide candidates will be hampered as they must collect........
