Attorney General Greg Abbott and minority groups filed briefs in a San Antonio federal court signaling a major confrontation over redistricting as Eric Holder presses for federal approval of proposed election changes. The dispute traces to the May 2011 lawsuit against new maps crafted after the 2010 census, which led three federal judges in San Antonio to draw interim lines for the 2012 elections. Abbott appealed that interim arrangement.
