In a 6-3 decision the conservative majority of the supreme court will allow Texas to use extremely gerrymandered maps for the mid-term elections in 2026. The link below will open an interactive map that displays those congressional districts. The data for the map is hosted on a state of Texas server.
Zoom in on some of the cities to see #Gerrymandering that is blatant.
Tip: The server with the district data might be very busy and therefore slow to send data to your screen. If some of the district data does not appear then try playing with the map a bit by changing the zoom level and/or panning. In particular, when you first open the map you might need to zoom in before any data appears.
You can make your own map links that will replicate the map on your screen. Simply click/tap Menu > Link to this map.

I used a trick to make the district data appear to be semi-transparent. The basemap called “USA basemap” is displayed a second time as an overlay called “USA overlay map.” That overlay has an opacity setting of 0.5 and is displayed on top of the district data which has solid colors.
