In Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new congressional map into law which is aimed at giving Republicans five more seats in the House of Representatives. In response, Indivisible’s national advocacy director Andrew O’Neill said, “Governor Abbott’s mid-decade redistricting effort is anti-democratic and discriminatory. He’s not just rigging the maps in Texas — he’s attempting to undermine the midterm elections and diluting the power and voice of communities of color in Texas while doing so.” Meanwhile, in Utah, a judge tossed out the state’s current congressional map and ordered the Republican-led state Legislature to draw a new one by September 24. The move could favor Democrats, as the party could pick up a seat in Salt Lake City.
