The U.S. Supreme Court on April 27 summarily reversed a lower court ruling that blocked Texas from implementing its mid-decade redistricting of the state’s congressional map.
The high court’s decision, which means the map will be used in elections this November, took the form of an unsigned order in Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The new ruling came after the Supreme Court in December 2025 upheld a redrawn election map expected to increase Republican representation in Texas’s U.S. House delegation.
