Supreme Court temporarily reinstates Texas redistricting map in potential win for Republicans

 

The United States Supreme Court on Friday night temporarily blocked a lower court order that found Texas’ 2026 congressional redistricting map was likely unconstitutional because it was likely racially gerrymandered.

 

The order was signed by Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees emergency appeals from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and will remain in place for at least a few days while the court considers whether to allow the new map to be used in the midterms.

 

The late night order comes hours after Texas filed its emergency appeal, asking it to take up its redistricting case.

 

A panel of federal judges ruled Tuesday that Texas Republicans must use its 2021 congressional map, declaring that the state legislature likely racially gerrymandered the one passed this summer.
