Short Summary

  • Elias's firm filed suit in Manhattan state court alleging a NY Congressional map violates the state's Voting Rights Act by discriminating against minority voters.
  • The legal team prioritizes speed, actively pushing for remedial action that can be implemented before the 2026 election cycle.
