Supreme Court Allows Texas' Controversial Congressional Map
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to use its new congressional map, targeting five Democratic seats, overturning a lower courts ruling that found it an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The high courts decision suggests it may not intervene in growing trends of redistricting efforts favoring the dominant political party. The Supreme Court criticized the lower court for failing to assume good faith and not requiring an alternative map avoiding racial lines. Justice Elena Kagan and two others dissented, arguing this decision violates the Constitution by placing citizens in electoral districts based on race.
