The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Texas Republican leaders, allowing the state to use new redistricting maps for the 2026 midterm elections despite accusations of racial profiling.

The court’s conservative majority said that Texas’ asserted political motives justified letting the state use voting maps meant to disadvantage Democrats in the midterms.

Justice Alito, joined by Justices Thomas and Gorsuch, didn’t mince words in his concurring opinion.
