Democracy Docket
Gerrymandering Tarrant County Texas

Democracy Docket
Gerrymandering Tarrant County, Texas

Republican officials in Tarrant County, Texas, approved a new redistricting plan to boost their own power in county government, & they insist packing minority voters into one precinct has nothing to do with race.. it's easy to read between (gerrymandered) lines: Minority communities make up a majority of Tarrant County's population & Republicans don’t want elections to reflect that. 

A group of minority voters quickly filed suit, arguing the new map violates the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Constitution.

While there’s nothing new about lawmakers — on both sides of the aisle — redrawing maps to their benefit, this case is a little different. Local Republicans brought in Adam Kincaid, the national GOP’s top map- maker, and the Public Interest Legal Foundation, anti-voting law firm in D.C., to lead the redistricting effort..they approved an 11th hour version of the map that came out after public hearings..

As soon as the map was approved, a far-right Republican state lawmaker immediately announced he was running to represent the county precinct that was just redrawn to his party’s benefit.

"Josh Divine, one of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees, argued in 2010 that in order to vote, people should be required to take literacy tests. Such tests were outlawed by the Voting Rights Act in 1965 for being racially discriminatory. The op-ed was first revealed by the Huffington Post."
