Texas Senate approves new map, sending it to Abbott’s desk

The new district lines are likely to add up to five additional U.S. House seats for Republicans in next year’s midterms.

Abbott vowed Saturday to “swiftly” sign the map into effect, though court challenges are also likely to come soon after to try to stop it.

“The One Big Beautiful Map has passed the Senate. Despite Democrats’ petty stunts, we delivered on our promise,” the governor wrote Saturday on social platform X. “This map reflects Texans’ actual voting preferences, and I look forward to signing it into law.”

    Both parties do it but when the Republicans do, it's a crime against democracy!

    1. Garnel federal s law is that it is to be done after a census which is every ten years. This is being done without a new census .

    2. Yes, after a census. There's no need to wait for the next one when the last one is fine.
