Al Green is one of the plaintiffs in this case and was one of the main targets of this redistricting scam. I have known Al for 20 or so years and has work on voter protection efforts with Al. Al represents CD 9 but was redistricted so that much of his district is now in CD 18. Al is currently going to run in CD 18 which was Sylvester Turner's district. Abbott has been an asshole and has kept this seat open for 11 months. There will be a runoff on January 31 between two great young democrats, Christen Menefee and Amanda Edwards. The winner and loser of that runoff would then have to run against Al Green in the March primary.
Jasime Crockett was also targeted and there were rumors that she may run for Texas Senate. If this ruling stand, Jasime will not have to change offices.
In another race, Lloyd Doggett's and another younger democrat's district were in effect merged and Lloyd was going to retire. If this ruling stand, Lloyd does not have to retire
Finally, Al's old district was redrawn to be a very white district and an asshole name Briscoe Cain was going to run in that district. Cain is a real asshole and I would hate to see him in Congress. Here what Cain posted about this ruling
I am really hoping that this ruling stands
