The Texas state Senate passed a map on Aug. 12 that would give the GOP an extra five congressional seats amid a mid-decade redistricting battle that has included other states such as California.
The final vote tally was 19–2 as all but two state Senate Democrats, Juan Hinojosa and Judith Zaffirini, walked out of the chamber. The Texas state House of Representatives must approve the map before Gov. Greg Abbott can sign it into law.
