Why Black and Latino Residents Concentrate North

A state Supreme Court judge has ruled that New York’s 11th Congressional District unlawfully dilutes the political power of Black and Latino voters, triggering a high stakes redistricting battle with national implications. At the center is Staten Island’s North Shore, a denser and more diverse part of the borough that some residents say has more in common with Lower Manhattan than with the rest of Staten Island. WNYC’s Brigid Bergin reports on the lawsuit and what a potential redraw could mean for representation in Congress and for the future of the borough itself.
