\n

Texas on Friday filed an emergency petition to the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a> following a ruling by a panel of federal judges who blocked the state from using its redrawn congressional map, calling it “racially gerrymandered.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after filing the petition, Justice Samuel Alito issued an administrative stay, temporarily putting the lower panel\u2019s decision blocking Texas\u2019 new maps on hold.<\/p>\n

The state asked the high court for an administrative stay on the lower court ruling, noting Texas has an “election already in progress,” referring to congressional primary elections in March.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court most recently blocked lower court rulings related to redistricting cases in Louisiana and Alabama.<\/p>\n

Texas redrew its congressional map last summer in a President Donald Trump<\/a>-backed effort that could help Republicans gain five seats in next year\u2019s midterms.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge<\/a> Jeffrey V. Brown, a Trump appointee, joined by U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, an Obama appointee, in the majority ruling said: “The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics.”<\/p>\n

“To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 map,” the judges said. “But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 map<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Judge Jerry Smith, a Reagan appointee and the third of the three-judge panel, dissented without explanation.<\/p>\n

REPUBLICANS PROTEST DOUBLE STANDARD AFTER JUDGES CALL TEXAS REDISTRICTING PLAN \u2018RACIALLY GERRYMANDERED\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The ruling was a significant blow to the Trump administration. It comes as Trump and his Republican allies<\/a> have raced to pad the party’s razor-thin House majority in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections \u2014 including by imploring some states to launch rare, mid-decade redistricting efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio have redrawn their congressional maps as well, and other states like Florida and Kansas are weighing similar efforts.<\/p>\n

Democratic states<\/a> are also considering redrawing their maps to counteract Republican efforts.<\/p>\n

Most prominently, California voters<\/a> approved by a wide margin earlier this month a plan to redistrict the state in an effort that could wipe out Texas\u2019 new map.<\/p>\n

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton vowed on Tuesday to appeal\u00a0to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

“For years, Democrats have engaged in partisan redistricting intended to eliminate Republican representation,” Paxton said. “But when Republicans respond in kind, Democrats rely on false accusations of racism to secure a partisan advantage.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
