A request to block the use of new voting maps in an upcoming election has been denied. The maps in question were drawn after the primary elections in March.
The decision was made by a Texas appeals court, which rejected the bid to prevent the maps from being used in November elections.
Further details about the decision and its implications are available from the source. The ruling affects Galveston County, which will now proceed with the new voting maps for its November elections.
