The Supreme Court handed down a victory for the Republican Party on Monday, striking down a lower court's ruling that had blocked Texas' plans for redrawing its congressional districts.
The court hung its order on reasoning from a previous ruling in Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens, but did not elaborate. The three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented from the decision.
The decision comes after the Supreme Court temporarily greenlit the state's map in December and California's map in February. Both states spearheaded the mid-cycle redistricting maneuvers that have now been cropping up across the country. The high court's approval of both states' maps, giving Republicans and Democrats five-seat advantages, respectively, served to cancel each other's efforts out ahead of the 2026 midterms.
