Petteway v. Galveston County, Texas: Denial of Emergency Application to Vacate Stay at U.S. Supreme Court

On December 12, the U.S. Supreme Court denied plaintiff's motion for an emergency application to vacate the Fifth's Circuit stay of non-discriminatory maps. Galveston County's 2024 elections will take place under 'Map 2,' which was deemed discriminatory and a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by a federal judge.
