Federal judges hear testimony on Texas minority districts
A three judge panel hears witness Allan J. Lichtman analyze redistricting. He notes one plan would create a new Hispanic district while several seek a new black district as Texas gains two seats. The case centers on protecting minority voting power under the Voting Rights Act amid partisan competition. MALDEF argues for an additional Hispanic district reflecting Texas Latino growth.
