The 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 that 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.
