Supreme Court Urged to Reinstate Texas Redistricting Map Amid Midterm Election Concerns

The Supreme Court is being urged to restore Texas’s 2021 congressional map, which was recently blocked by a federal district court. The ruling, which could cost Republicans five House seats, is seen as an overreach by liberal judges. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton have appealed the decision, arguing that the ruling incorrectly applies the Voting Rights Act and improperly dilutes minority votes. The Court is expected to address the issue through an emergency docket, with its upcoming ruling on the Louisiana v. Callais case potentially influencing the outcome.
