Supreme Court Weighs Texas Redistricting Case

Texas seeks Supreme Court intervention, arguing a lower courts late block of its Republican-drawn congressional map disrupts election deadlines. The Purcell principle, which discourages election rule changes close to elections, is at the heart of the case. The Supreme Court has previously used this principle, allowing Republican maps in Alabama and Louisiana to remain in place before the 2022 midterms. The court is now considering similar cases from Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and North Dakota, all involving the Voting Rights Act. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
