Texas Senate GOP Sends Trump-Backed Gerrymander to Governor's Desk

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/texas-senate-gop-sends-trump-backed-gerrymander-to-governors-desk/

Texas Republicans cleared the final legislative hurdle for their extreme mid-decade gerrymander, as the Senate voted to approve HB4. The bill now heads to Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it into law.

Within hours of the bill’s passage, advocates filed a legal challenge aiming to block it.
