BREAKING: SCOTUS stays interim maps
In a late order tonight, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed all three interim maps until further order. The order did not indicate any dissents.

The high court also set expedited oral argument for January 9. The court allotted one hour for oral argument.

It is unclear for the moment what this means for Texas elections. For now, there are no legally enforceable maps for state house, senate, or congressional districts, but filing for other races continues with a December 15 deadline. It’s not clear though whether the primary will be moved or will be bifurcated as the State of Texas has suggested.

Oh fuck! That means that the republicans/Abbott won!
