The redistricting battle in Texas has escalated in recent days as state House Democrats left the Lone Star State to block a vote.

Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley’s bill would halt efforts in Texas and California to redraw congressional maps.

‘The ID number requirement is obviously designed to confirm that each mail-in ballot voter is precisely who he claims he is,’ the judge wrote.

‘Texas House Democrats abandoned their duty to Texans, and there must be consequences,’ Gov. Greg Abbott said.

Attorney General Ken Paxton said he will go to the courts in an attempt to declare Democrats who fled the sate as having abandoned their elected office.

Party leaders say the Texas map could set a national precedent as part of a broader GOP strategy ahead of 2026.

President Donald Trump says that the FBI ’may have to' get involved in the situation.

‘We’d have to go sue in every legislator’s home district,' Paxton said.

Democrats are mulling their response to GOP efforts to redraw congressional maps in red states.

Democrats could potentially face fines, felonies, and removal from office, according to state Republicans.

The Republican House speaker said that he would sign civil arrest warrants to track the lawmakers down amid a fight over redistricting.

The exodus could expose the Lone Star State lawmakers to fines, and other penalties—including the possibility of arrest.

The flooding, which struck early on the morning of the July Fourth holiday, killed at least 136 people.
