TEXAS REDISTRICTING & ELECTION LAW
Updates about ongoing redistricting litigation in the Lone Star State and coverage of election law more generally.
This website's goal is to try to make sure the redistricting process and litigation over voting law is as transparent and accessible as possible to the public. Hopefully, it will be of some use to a broad range of interested parties, both lawyers and non-lawyers.
Have questions, comments, suggestions, additional content, or a redistricting joke (or two)? Feel free to contact me:

The three-judge panel in San Antonio overseeing redrawing of Texas’ redistricting plans has signaled that it is at least considering the possibility of delaying action on new maps until the Supreme Court decides questions about the constitutionality of section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, asking the parties to brief by December 3 “whether this court should place this case in an administrative stay pending a decision.”
In late August, a separate three-judge panel in Washington found that the Texas maps could not be precleared because the state had failed to meet its bruden of showing a lack of discriminatory intent or effect as required under section 5.
A copy of the court’s order can be found here.
