In election news, the Supreme Court yesterday ordered a lower court to sort out Texas’s controversial redistricting of Congressional districts. Republican legislators redrew the state’s Congressional map last year in a way that will likely give the GOP five or six additional House seats. While the Supreme Court’s decision gives Democrats another chance to get the redistricting plan scrapped — it will not be in time to affect the Nov. 2 election. Republicans are expected to easily retain control of the House after Nov. 2 in part because of the redistricting in Texas.
