Looks like this ruling will throw a wrench in the planned Apr primary. I doubt they’ll have approved district lines drawn in time for approval in order to proceed with the Apr primary. This court case involved district in all three branches: State Senate, State Representative and Congressional.

There’s talk of a split primary, the congressional races postponed till summer but letting others, in particular the Presidential vote, stay in April.

Two primaries will cost us money, but it might be worth it in this case. Assuming it’s not settled by April, I want Texas to have a say in the nomination.

Then, in the absence of any proof of "disenfranchising" minorities, the constitutionally-draw state legislature maps should be used.

This is getting maddening.
