Judges Block Texas' Gerrymandered Map

A panel of federal judges has blocked Texas from using a new congressional map, aiming to add five more U.S. House seats for the Republican party. The map was criticized for reducing minority voters influence, violating the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Constitution. The judges granted a request to stop Texas from using the map while the case moves forward, suggesting the critics have a strong chance of winning. This decision is a setback for former President Trumps push to help the Republican party keep its narrow House majority in the upcoming midterm elections. DNN | The Daily News Now!
