NAACP continues Texas on the redistribution plan eliminating democratic seats

The National Association for the Advancement of Colorful People (NAACP) pursues Texas on its redistribution plan which would eliminate five democratic seats in the Congress.

The NAACP filed the pursuit on Tuesday, arguing that the new congress card “was promulgated with an unacceptable discriminatory objective and controlling on the basis of the breed”. He appoints the Governor of Texas Greg Abbott and the Secretary of State of Texas Jane Nelson as a complainant.

“It is quite obvious that the efforts of Texas to redirect mid-December, before the mid-term elections next year, are motivated by race.

Meanwhile, the NAACP said that it also encouraged blue states to implement their own redistribution plans in order to compensate for the effects of the new Texas card.

“Currently, NAACP urges California, New York and all other states to act immediately by redistigating and passing new, legal and constitutional electoral cards,” the group wrote on Tuesday. “We must counter the unconstitutional decision of Texas and ensure that if everything else fails, black Americans still have a voice in the congress.”

Texas succeeded in its new card on Saturday, winning political victory despite the weeks of democrats who break the quorum, which included the leak of the state to avoid a re -cutting vote.

Friday, the state Senate under the control of the Republican adopted the redistribution card, just two days after erased the GOP chamber with a vote of 88-52.

This decision launched a battle of redistribution on a national level. California Gov. Gavin Newsom And state Democrats succeeded in their own new card on Thursday, which creates five new districts that lean democrat, endangering the seats of the Republicans.

However, this card will face a state -of -scale vote on November 4 before being adopted. This special election should cost taxpayers some $ 230 million.

The Newsom office responded to criticism of the cost by arguing: “There is no price for democracy”.
