Supreme Court Upholds Texas's GOP-Favoring Redistricting

The Supreme Court allowed Texas’s redrawn Republican-friendly congressional map to stand on Monday, formally reversing a lower court’s ruling striking down the map as an unlawful racial gerrymander. The high court allowed the Texas congressional map, passed by the state legislature last summer, to be used for the November elections in an emergency docket ruling late last year. On Monday, the Supreme Court reversed a lower federal court’s ruling striking down the maps by a 6-3 margin on ideological lines, formally ending the legal battle and allowing the map, which could net Republicans up to five seats in the House, to stand beyond the 2026 elections.
