Texas Democrats are leaving the state to try to block the state House from voting Monday on a new congressional map.

The new map could lead to Republicans gaining up to 5 additional U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterm elections.

The Associated Press reported that leaving the state as a way to stop the vote puts Democrats at risk of fines and other penalties.
