Meanwhile, CA has asked their voters to do it because of Texas, and they said yes.

Here’s hoping it’s not reversed on appeal.
But my heavens would it be sweet if Texas is overturned but California is allowed to keep theirs.

Oh, well isn’t that interesting?
Meanwhile California’s voter approved efforts will move forward.

The GOP probably asked the court to block it. They recently discovered the new map may have give an advantage to Democrats.

This should be interesting with what California has done. I felt like CA would stand because TX would stand. It would be funny if CA stands and TX doesn’t, because then the Republicans screwed themselves by starting it to begin with.

The GOP redrawn maps were counting on not losing the gains they made with Latinos. The midterms just showed that they not only lost their gains, but they’ve lost even more support with their careless immigration crackdowns.
Even if the maps win an appeal, they might still lose seats anyway.

There are some incredibly racially inspired redrawing of the maps. If Alabama is constantly blocked even with the new SCOTUS rules, Texas should be as well.

Can’t wait for next week’s article where the Texas GOP ignores the court, issues the new maps, and the Supreme Court does the same thing it did with NC and says the election is too close to change the maps.

I’m not sure, but blocking it might help them out. They drew them when the had strong Latino support and since the map was approved the largely predictable fallout from their policies has cratered Latino support for the GOP.
With less solidly red districts and a growing insurgency against their policies, they might lose more than they gain with the new maps.
I believe you should never interrupt your opponent while making a mistake though so I hope they get their wish, keep the maps, and turn Texas blue in the process.

There are already some hesitations from some experts on if the gerrymandering in TX is already primed to backfire on them if it passed anyway. From my understanding the GOP has leaned pretty heavy into the Latino voters in the gerrymandering, but the recent deportations and ICE raids have obviously cause the GOP to lose many of the Latino voters. So whether the gerrymandering is permitted or not, this could blow up in their face spectacularly.
