Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, et al., Appellants v. Shannon Perez, et al.

The Supreme Court decided a fight over Texas' 2013 redistricting maps, including whether a lower-court order against the maps could be appealed right away. The case also raised claims that some districts were drawn with unlawful racial purpose or reduced minority voters' opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.

The case was argued on April 24, 2018, and decided on June 25, 2018, but the prompt does not provide the vote count or opinion lineup.

Redistricting lines shape who votes together and can affect which communities have political power. That matters for Texas voters, candidates, and officials in districts such as Congressional Districts 27 and 35.

This Supreme Court docket action is finished. Texas officials, voters, and the lower court must proceed under the Supreme Court's decision in any remaining map-related proceedings.

The case asked whether Texas' 2013 redistricting maps were unlawfully drawn and whether the lower court's order blocking them could be appealed immediately.

District lines affect which neighborhoods vote together and how much influence minority voters may have. That can change election outcomes and representation.

The Supreme Court has finished with this docket. Any remaining work happens in the lower court or through Texas' future redistricting decisions.
