Supreme Court to Review Texas Redistricting

The U.S. Supreme Court gave opponents of Texas's new federal voting districts a new chance to argue against the plan, which may add as many as six Republicans to the state's congressional delegation in the Nov. 2 election.
Today's action leaves the districts in place for the election two weeks from tomorrow. The justices told a lower court to reconsider its decision upholding the districts in light of the justices' April ruling that examined partisan gerrymandering in a Pennsylvania case.
