Court lets new Texas elections proceed after ruling
The Supreme Court declined to block a federal panel order for new elections in 13 of Texas 30 congressional districts this fall. An open primary will be held November 5 with runoff December 10 in districts redrawn after the high court ruled several districts unconstitutional for minority-favoring lines. Democrats lament the decision as Speaker Pete Laney and colleagues sought to keep old boundaries.
