Federal judges denied Texas lawmakers' new plans for the congessional and state legislative districts on the grounds that they were discriminatory. These new districts would have made it harder for minority populations to vote. These Washington judges decided that the only reason the lines had been redrawn was to make it harder for language and race minorities to vote. I honestly can't believe that in our day and age atrocities like this are still going on. The Obama administration has been on Texas' case for unfair redistricting since the plans drawn up after the 2010 census. I don't understand how Rick Perry can defend this blatant cruelty and have people support him.
