In a November 29 article title “ Court Shouldn’t Reject the Redrawn Map”
http://www.austinccedutxgov.blogspot.com/.Ana discusses and point the redrawn district in Texas. She points the current redraw map weakened minorities’ representation. Population shifts may result in an unequal representation amongst the single-member districts of local political subdivisions such as cities and school districts. We know that redistricting is necessary to maintain a substantially equal population between single-member districts within these local political subdivisions. Again let’s review the big question… What is redistricting? Redistricting is the process by which the boundaries of elective districts are periodically redrawn to maintain equal representation on the basis of population. After redraw the map, republican leaders have denied the Legislature's map would diminish minority voting power and denounced the court's map, which was approved by three judges. One more time, Texas Legislature drew up lines to support the Republicans' retention of the 3 to 2 majority? No say it isn't so. Why is their oversight built into the system? To maybe right the wrongs of the past? I sure hope so. The intent of these rules are to give the unconnected a chance to flourish as the connected have for decades.
