In a new court filing, Greg Abbott’s administration officially renounced the entire rationale they used to justify their mid-decade redistricting scheme.

Here’s what that means: Abbott used the U.S. Department of Justice as “political cover” — knowingly misleading the public — to hide the real purpose of the redraw: a partisan power grab designed to silence Texas’ Black and Latino voters.

Now they’re scrambling to defend the map in court, even admitting their “mistake” in the record. Let’s be clear — this wasn’t a mistake. It was a deliberate lie.

Abbott and his allies are trying to cement five new GOP seats in Congress by dismantling majority-minority districts. If they succeed, millions of Texans will have their political power stripped away for another decade.

Texas Majority PAC is fighting back in every community — but this case is happening right now, and we need the resources to win.

We can’t let Abbott’s lies rewrite the rules of democracy.

Will you chip in tonight to help us fight Abbott’s racist, partisan gerrymander and defend fair representation for every Texan?
