Commissioners to Act on Redistricting Process
Collingsworth County commissioners moved on December 8 to redistrict four precincts and eight voting precincts to comply with the Voting Rights Act. The court rescinded its August 11 1980 order and returned boundaries to their original locations until redistricting in 1981, with Baylor University experts David Guinn and Michael Morrison and local attorney Bill Spillman guiding the effort. A Collingsworth County Redistricting Committee was named to plan the changes for submission to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
