Justice Alito just dropped the hammer — reinstating Texas’s red-wave congressional map and freezing an radical left-wing judge’s ruling.

A federal panel had ruled Texas’s 2025 map likely diluted Latino voting power, ordering a switch back to the 2021 version. Alito’s stay pauses that decision, allowing Republican-backed preparations while the Supreme Court reviews the appeal. The new map, signed by Governor Greg Abbott, redraws all 38 districts and could add up to five GOP seats in the House. Critics say it cracks Latino communities to benefit white Republican voters; the case now heads to fuller Supreme Court scrutiny.

The U.S Supreme Court has overturned a lower court and rules that Texas redistricting map is perfectly legal

Five seats will now flip from blue to Red

Good Riddance to lunatics Jasmine Crockett and Al Green.

Blue states have redrawn their maps to wipe out Republican representation entirely, even when a large share of their population is Republican. Nearly 40% of Massachusetts voters voted for Trump — yet has zero Republican congressional districts. California just rammed through a new map in an illegal, rigged process. And somehow, they’re allowed to get away with it.

BREAKING: In response to our filing, the Supreme Court just granted an administrative stay—temporarily stopping the district court's injunction against Texas's map.

We look forward to continuing to press forward in our case on the merits. https://t.co/0iG1VbWiIn

Texas redistricting: Supreme Court puts pause on ruling about new congressional map

By Elizabeth Evans, FOX News, November 21, 2025:

The Supreme Court has decided to put a lower court ruling concerning the 2025 Texas congressional map on pause pending the state’s appeal, per the Associated Press.

The Brief

Supreme Court temporarily blocks lower court ruling on 2025 Texas congressional map

The order comes after Ken Paxton filed an emergency application for a stay pending appeal

Lower court said there was “substantial” evidence that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 map

AUSTIN, Texas – The Supreme Court has decided to put a lower court ruling concerning the 2025 Texas congressional map on pause, per the Associated Press.

The order comes after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated Friday that he had filed an emergency application for an administrative stay pending appeal with the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court temporarily blocks lower court ruling:

What we know:

The Associated Press’s Mark Sherman says that the order, which was signed by Justice Samuel Alito, will remain in place for at least the next few days while the court considers if the new map can be used in the midterm elections in 2026.

The court’s conservative majority has blocked similar lower court rulings because they have come too close to elections, says Sherman, but if the Supreme Court upholds the lower court ruling, Texas could have to use the map drawn in 2021 based on the 2020 census.

Lower court rules against new map, issues preliminary injunction

A federal court blocked Texas on Tuesday from using recently passed congressional maps.

Dig deeper:

The three-judge panel for the Western District of Texas court issued a preliminary injunction, saying that the 2026 midterm elections “shall proceed” using the map that the Texas Legislature enacted in 2021.

“The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote in the 160-page ruling. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.”

Brown, an appointee of President Donald Trump, said that plaintiffs are likely to prove at trial that Texas racially gerrymandered the map passed this year.

How this all began:

The backstory:

Texas redrew its congressional map during a special legislative session after Trump called for the map to be redrawn to provide Republicans five seats in the House of Representatives.

The proposed changes mostly impacted Democrat-held districts in the state’s major metropolitan areas.
