I'm betting liberals will approve since they are guided by emotions and will like getting even. They'll say whities deserve this.
It's stupid that things are manipulated to ensure victory for a black or Hispanic candidate. The left thinks this is fair. I think it's called affirmative action for elections.
"After the 2010 Census, the Commissioners Court redrew the four commission districts. Despite the fact that Anglos constitute almost half of the voting population of the county, the commissioners packed them into only one of the four individual commission districts where they represent 72 percent of the voters. Of the other three districts, one was designed to elect an Hispanic candidate, a second was designed to elect a black candidate, and the third, according to a very strange statement by the county judge, was designed as a "Democratic Opportunity District" for Hispanics and blacks to elect a third commissioner. As the lawsuit says, this is "a bizarre misstatement of the Voting Rights Act’s requirements."
The remaining Anglo voters who weren’t packed into the "Anglo" district were spread out among the other three districts to assure "the political insignificance of the Anglo voters isolated in each." This is exactly the kind of discriminatory "packing and cracking" of black voters that courts have struck down on numerous occasions."
