Summary

Texas Republicans redrew the state's congressional map mid-decade to target five additional seats; Gov. Greg Abbott signed it in August 2025.
A federal court blocked the map in November 2025 as a likely racial gerrymander, but the Supreme Court stayed that ruling in December and, in April 2026, cleared the map for the 2026 midterms.
The new lines reshape districts held by Democrats including Marc Veasey, Vicente Gonzalez, Lloyd Doggett, Julie Johnson and Al Green.

The question

Mid-decade partisan redistricting like Texas's undermines fair elections.
