Texas redraws congressional map after DOJ calls four districts unconstitutional, sparking legal and voting rights concerns.
Texas initiated emergency congressional redistricting in 2025, citing a U.S. Department of Justice letter claiming four districts were unconstitutional coalition districts, a move spurred by the 2024 5th Circuit ruling that overturned a 1987 precedent allowing racial coalitions to challenge voting maps.
Though legal experts argue coalition districts are lawful and widely used, the state’s new map, driven by Republican leadership and pressure from President Trump and Governor Abbott, expands GOP representation.
A federal panel in El Paso is reviewing the map, with the outcome potentially influencing future redistricting and raising concerns about voting rights, especially as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on a related Louisiana case.
