I haven't read the lawsuit yet, but my bet is that he's bringing this under New York law and/or constitution rather than the federal VRA.

I can't see how it could win in a truly adversarial process because they're claiming that a growing black/hispanic population can't pick the candidate of their choice... but SI is more heavily hispanic than black and their representative is hispanic. But this won't be an adversarial process.
