Description | A Texas court released its congressional redistricting plan for the next election cycle, a major victory for Democrats and Latinos who had protested a GOP-drawn map that squeezed both groups.
The new map will likely give Democrats 13 House seats in the state, up from the 10 seats Republican legislators had packed Democratic voters into in their map and the nine they currently hold. Republicans currently have 23 seats, and in the new map will likely have the same number. |
