Texas redistricting - You won't believe it

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Texas got two new congressional seats due to population growth, 95% of which was non-white. Their bogus gerrymandering negates that fact. Exhibit A (or B perhaps) why we need nonpartisan committees to take care of this henceforth. MUST prevent this kind of BS.

AUSTIN — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed into law new political maps drawn by Republicans that cement the GOP’s grip on power for the next decade but blunt the voting strength of nonwhite voters who fueled Texas’ population surge.​

​

Critics say the redrawn congressional, legislative and State Board of Education maps do not reflect the major growth of the Hispanic community, which made up nearly half of the state’s population gain since 2020. People of color accounted for 95% of the state’s population boom over the last decade, with much of the growth concentrated in cities and suburban areas, census data show.​

​

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has already asked a federal court to toss out the maps, arguing the redrawn boundaries violate the federal Voting Rights Act and dilute the voting strength of Hispanic voters. The new maps are generally expected to withstand legal challenges, but battles over aspects of the boundaries could last several years.​

​

A second federal lawsuit against the maps was filed Monday, with advocacy organization Voto Latino and a group of individual voters arguing the new U.S. House boundaries dilute Latino and Black voting strength in violation of the Voting Rights Act.​

​

Because Abbott signed the redistricting plans before a Nov. 15 deadline set by state lawmakers, the primary election is slated for March 1, 2022.​

What's so bad about minority rule?

Please post how the DNC( Demleftists) acted when they were in the minority during the Trump and Bush’s presidencies?

I get it that your team doesn't believe that anyone can be a largely apolitical professional, but in fact - They're out there. More of them I'll wager than there are hyper partisans.

Yes. We’ve seen how apolitical the demleftists and their appointees to the SC court have been for 30 years. Bipartisan to the core! Post the votes.

 

[OKTexas]

You are the one spouting drivel. Republicans are attacking our voting rights in this country to keep themselves in power. That is undeniable except for partisan hacks like you. If Cubans want to back these dictators then they are fascists and invaders.

You stupid commies have never been able to explain how we can attack your voting rights without attacking our own, the rules and laws apply the same to everyone.

[OKTexas]

Your leader was backed by a commie. I don't expect that you fascists will tell the truth.

What the fuck are you lying about, Putin loves xiden, he gave him his pipeline to western Europe and begging him to produce more crude. xiden is making pooty boy a very rich man.

[busybee01]

Except it's racist.

No it is not.

 

[busybee01]

What did Trump do? Shutdown an American pipeline and immediately remove sanctions that allowed Putin to finish his pipeline to Germany? Oh wait................

The pipeline was nearly complete. The bulk of the pipeline was built under Trump.

 

[busybee01]

Science says upon conception. Prove science wrong.

You are being redirected...

Science does not say that. Theology says that.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Such is the racist right.

That only took 4 posts...lol

Putin already had the pipeline and it was done under Trump. Trump brokered a agreement with OPEC+ which includes Russia to cut oil production. Trump also gave Putin a air base in Syria that we built and gave Russia and Iran complete control in Syria.

If it was a democrat governor, the republicans would be bitching. Someone is always going to bitch.

Do you think what they are bitching about might matter?

I really don't think it does.

Goooood for you.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Team Trump did a much better job of messaging to Hispanics in 2020 - especially immigrants from Cuba and Central America. They convinced those guys that Democrats are EXACTLY the same sort of "socialists" as Castro, Chavez, Pinochet and Noriega. Looks like they fell for it. Won't happen next time around.

Won’t it?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

No it is not.

Drawing a district to guarantee the race of the representative is racist.
