Texas hit with first lawsuit challenging its mid-decade redistricting to benefit Trump
As Texas Republicans forced through their redrawing of the state's political maps at the behest of President Donald Trump, political experts predicted the move would ignite immediate court challenges. Turns out they were right. Hours after the Texas Senate rubber stamped a new U.S. House map designed to give the GOP five more seats, plaintiffs filed a 67-page federal lawsuit accusing Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson of engaging in a racially engineered restructuring of the state's voting power.
