SCOTUS Approves Racially Gerrymandered Texas Maps Leading to 2026 Election Concerns

Short Summary

  • SCOTUS threw out evidence showing Texas maps relied on unlawful racial gerrymandering, favoring GOP control into 2026.
  • This ruling highlights how partisan gerrymandering structures, long permitted, are being aggressively abused by those with authoritarian tendencies.

Description

Pragmatic Optimists State Senator Tiara Mack and attorney Rachel Cohen discuss the Supreme Court’s latest move to hand Trump and the GOP better odds of maintaining their slim House majority in 2026. SCOTUS reversed a lower court’s decision to strike down these maps, due to unlawful racial gerrymandering. Additional state legislatures are being targeted by the Trump administration to take up mid-decade maps before 2026.
