Voting rights lawsuit seeks to overturn Texas' new congressional districts
Manage episode 305627234 series 2582831
An organization affiliated with Eric Holder, who was attorney general in the Obama administration, has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the state's GOP-drawn redistricting map for Congress on behalf of a Latino rights group and 13 Texas voters. Filed Monday in an Austin federal court, the lawsuit claims mapmakers in the Texas Legislature improperly drew political districts in Senate Bill 6 that increased the power of white voters even though 95% of the state's growth last decade was fueled by people of color. That population growth made Texas the only state to gain two congressional seats after the 2020 census.
