According to an order issued by the US Supreme Court on the 4th, the US District Court for the Western District Court of Texas “suspends execution” of a previous ruling prohibiting the state from using the new constituency map. The decision was accused of favoring the Republican Party. The Supreme Court, which has a majority of conservative justices, said in an unsigned order that it “suspends execution” of the November 18 ruling of the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas prohibiting the state from using the new constituency map “until this court receives an appeal.” Three liberal justices jointly signed an objection. The opinion reads, “The stay of execution will allow many Texas citizens to be divided into different constituencies based on their race without justifiable reason. This result is a violation of the Constitution.” After the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the 4th, Texas Governor Abbott posted support on social media. Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin posted on social media: “The Supreme Court has once again satisfied Trump's wishes: a manipulated and racist constituency map aimed at helping the Republican Party evade responsibility in the midterm elections. But that would be counterproductive.”
