The federal court ruled the new Texas electoral map unconstitutional due to racial gerrymandering, ordering a return to the 2021 map. US District Judge Jeffrey Brown authored the 2-1 decision, highlighting violations of the Voting Rights Act and the US Constitution. Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton plan to appeal, while dissenting Judge Jerry Smith criticized the ruling as rushed and partisan, linking it to political agendas in California.
