Supreme Court has become a ‘chaos agent in elections’ by allowing last-minute GOP gerrymanders

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas' gerrymandered congressional map to take effect, enabling Republican-controlled Southern states to redraw districts and eliminate majority-Black districts. Louisiana suspended its 2026 primary elections after the Court fast-tracked redistricting, discarding 42,000 votes already cast. Critics argue the Court's application of the Purcell principle—limiting last-minute election changes—has become partisan.
