EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The US Supreme Court allowed Texas to use a new Republican-favoring congressional map for the 2026 midterms, overturning a lower court ruling.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of the Republican Party by overturning a lower court’s decision that had stopped Texas from redrawing its congressional districts.
The court’s decision was based on reasoning from an earlier case, Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens, but it didn’t say what that reasoning was. Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, the three liberal justices, disagreed with the decision.
