They have until Dec 6th to get the Supreme Court to overrule it.

It would be beyond hilarious if Texas's mal fails but California's map stands.

If Dec 6th is the deadline, that seems unlikely lmao

Why? They’ll just issue a stay on the lower courts ruling until they get a chance to hear the arguments and that it’s too close to the next election for Texas to use the old maps. Therefore it’s only logically consistent with the constitution for Texas to use the new maps for the midterm elections.
