Split City Vote Plea Is Rejected
The Third Court of Civil Appeals rejected a bid to overturn legislative apportionment laws allowing urban counties voters to ballot on House candidates. It upheld a lower court ruling that big-city House members need not be elected from neighborhood districts. The Houston plaintiff contended the system excludes Blacks from the Texas House and asked the court to bar at large elections. The court ruled the arguments are political in nature and belong in the legislative branch.
