Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan warned that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Texas redistricting case will lead to a “violation of the Constitution” of voter rights.
The Supreme Court issued an unsigned decision in favor of freezing the initial 2-1 U.S. federal court ruling against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s proposed redistricting map, a stay that could help Republicans pick up five additional U.S. House seats in next year’s midterms.
“This Court’s stay ensures that many Texas citizens, for no good reason, will be placed in electoral districts because of their race,” Kagan wrote in her dissent. “And that result, as this Court has pronounced year in and year out, is a violation of the Constitution.”
Polling is looking really bad for them right now. This working for them all depends on Latinos voting for Republicans at the same rate they voted for Trump.
But we are a long way from elections so polling is basically worthless right now. But with that said, I don’t see how they will win them back before the election. The economy won’t get better by then.
