* A three-judge federal panel ruled that Texas cannot use the GOP-drawn redistricting map for the 2026 midterm elections, claiming it was "racially gerrymandered".

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had signed the new map into law in August, projecting up to five additional House seats for the Republican Party.
