AP offers this report on oral argument before a three-judge court in Texas on the LULAC remand. A snippet: “It is unclear when the three-judge panel may issue a decision, but Texas elections officials say a ruling by Monday is necessary for changes to go into effect for the Nov. 7 election.” One of the issues before the court is whether new maps would go into effect for this year (meaning that the results of already-held primaries would be thrown out). If the maps are going to be effective only for 2008, there would be no need for the court to rush its decision.
