The temporary ruling means Texas's racially gerrymandered maps will stay in effect for the midterms. The stated reason? It was "too close" to the election, which is 11 months away.
By Susie Madrak December 5, 2025
In yet another irrational ruling, SCOTUS cleared the way yesterday for Texas lawmakers to use newly redrawn congressional maps favoring Republicans in the 2026 midterms. Via the New York Times:
The decision overturns, at least for now, a lower-court ruling that the new maps were likely an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. That decision had blocked lawmakers from using the maps in the midterms.
The Supreme Courts order comes days before a Dec. 8 deadline for candidates to file to run for office in Texas. It marks a victory for Texas Republicans and for President Trump, who has pushed Republican-led states to revise their congressional maps to try to secure G.O.P. victories in the midterms.
