Reapportionment Amendment Seeks District Redraw in Texas
Austin officials report amendment No. 6 to the Texas Constitution would base legislative districts on economic and geographic areas rather than population. If approved, counties under future reapportionment would have seven representatives unless population exceeds 700,000, with one extra seat per 100,000 over that threshold. Supporters argue current urban concentration skews power toward larger cities. Representative George Moffett calls for considering economic and social group differences in representation. Thirty states already use laws favoring less populous areas in apportionment.
