The Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot is on a mission to stop three federal San Antonio judges attempt to change the mapping of the districts in Texas. These three judges in San Antonio explained that there were two reasons that they elected to change the mapping of the districts. The first reason was to make a new map that was more accurate with the 2010 census, and the second reason is that Washington never approved the legislator maps with no hearing on the plans yet. Greg Abbot felt that this decision was too much authority for a federal judge and illegal.
This will most likely be looked into further and see and make sure that these judges are not committing gerrymandering. This redistricting is an important power for some but not all can use this power. Most of the time redistricting is only used to make an advantage for one party to win more of the future votes. This can be beneficial though if they are fixing the maps because of an inaccurate number with the census and it can fix it by mapping the districts by the real numbers. It can also help with the future elections with always having the most accurate information before remapping a district. We will soon learn if they were actually trying to help make everything right or not soon.
