How Texas Republicans are rigging the system against minority voters | The fight to vote

Republicans currently have a 23-13 advantage over Democrats, and the new map gives them a good chance to pick up two extra seats - what might happen next?

Hello Fight to vote readers,

You don't have to be an expert to see why Texas' new maps for its state legislature and congress discriminate against minority voters. Ninety-five per cent of the state's growth over the last decade has been driven by minorities. But the new maps Texas enacted don't include a single new district where there is a Hispanic majority.
