Texas districting board faces showdown over single member plan
AP reporting from Austin notes the state districting board near its 1b day deadline in a clash over single member districts. Armstrong backs one member districts with all five present, while Barnes opposes philosophically. House Speaker Mutscher opposes changes, Calvert and Attorney General Crawford Martin say no vote planned. Senate districts could be set before Oct 23. Oscar Maury of Dallas led witnesses supporting single member districts citing high costs of multimember races in large cities.
