On October 9, Jane Nelson, Texas Secretary of State, notified the U.S. District Court that she does not agree with the Texas Attorney General about whether the open primary is unconstitutional. She notified the court that she has retained her own attorney, and that she and her attorney will defend the open primary. The Attorney General had told the court that the Attorney General’s office thinks the open primary is unconstitutional and therefore he wouldn’t defend it. The case is Hunt and Republican Party of Texas v State of Texas and Jane Nelson, n.d., 2:25cv-200.

On October 9 and 10, a three-judge U.S. District Court held a trial in League of United Latin American Citizens v Abbott, w.d., 3:21cv-259. This is a challenge to the new U.S. House district boundaries, based on the Voting Rights Act. See this story.
