TX governor signs congressional redistricting plan

Which means it will now join AL and LA in seeking preclearance. Eight other states, mostly huddled in the heartland (AR, IA, IL, IN, MO, NE, OK, OR), already have final congressional plans. And three (CO, MN, NV) have essentially given up, with the process turned over to the courts.

On the state legislative side, nine states (IA, IL, IN, LA, NE, NJ, OK, OR, VA) have final state legislative plans, though two (NJ and OK) are currently in litigation. Three more (AK, SC, and TX) await preclearance — though both Alaska’s plan and Texas’s plan are also already in litigation. And MN and NV courts look like they’ll be primarily responsible for drawing the state legislative plans as well.
