U.S. Supreme Court again enables Texas election law to go into effect
Updated Mon, July 6, 2026 at 10:40 AM EDT
• The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal related to a Texas election security law banning paid ballot harvesting, effectively upholding the law.
(The Center Square) – The U.S. Supreme Court has again upheld another Texas election law, this time by refusing to hear a case on appeal from the Fifth Circuit.
Among the major U.S. Supreme Court decisions announced at the end of its term before the July 4 holiday was its decision to deny cert and refuse to hear a case on appeal related to a new Texas election security law that bans paid ballot harvesting.
The decision came two months after the court for a second and final time ruled in favor of Texas’ redistricting law, effectively ending all challenges to the state’s new congressional maps, The Center Square reported. This was after the high court chastised district court judges in El Paso for their handling of that case and blocked their ruling from going into effect, The Center Square reported.
It’s the third Supreme Court action in six months in support of Texas election law.
