The conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court
has cleared the way for Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map in next year’s midterm elections
that a lower court found racially discriminatory.
The 6-3 ruling is another political win for Donald Trump and his allies,

Rigging Democracy: Supreme Court Approves Racial Texas Gerrymander, Handing Trump Midterm Advantage
The conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map in next year’s midterm elections that a lower court found racially discriminatory. The 6-3 ruling is another political win for President Donald Trump and his allies, who have gotten a number of favorable rulings from the justices after being stymied by lower courts. Trump has asked Republican-led states to redraw their maps in order to preserve the narrow GOP majority in …

The Supreme Court, in a Thursday evening order, put on hold a lower court ruling that blocked Texas’ aggressive gerrymander,
a maneuver the state legislature carried out on orders from the Trump administration and the president himself,

a "fun" fact is that texas' state senate map is so gerrymandered that this swing would flip all but four republican districts [contains quote post or other embedded content]

New maps that added
five Republican districts in Texas
hit a legal roadblock on Tuesday,
with a federal judge saying
the state cannot use the 2025 maps
because they are probably “racially gerrymandered”.
The decision is likely to be appealed,
given the push for more Republican-friendly congressional maps nationwide
and Donald Trump’s full-court press on his party to make them.
A panel of three federal judges in Texas said in a decision t…

Republicans are hanging on to their majority in the House by a thread.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt resignation means that a reliable red House seat will remain unfilled for months.
However, it is what is happening in a special House election in Tennessee that should be terrifying Republicans.
Tennessee’s Seventh US House district is not a race that, in a normal year, anyone would consider to be ripe for flipping.
Republicans have heavily gerrymandered the distri…

It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment
coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts

Wow.
In #Utah, the #utgop have a closed primary and the #utdem have an open primary. Utah is a gerrymandered, super-majority GOP state.
I like progressive policies, but I live in reality, so I&#…
