As stated in the article : U. S. Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson, Henry Cuellar and Al Green asked a three judge panel to throw out the redistricting map drawn by the republican- controlled Texas Legislation that was signed by Gov. Rick Perry this summer. San Antonio is the area of concern. The argument is that the GOP approved map discriminates by crowding blacks and Hispanics into shared districts despite surge in minority growth over the past decade.
So as we embark on yet another election year, so began the push and pull of parties. Could this information insight some voter to pay attention based on the fact of discrimination?
Mr. Weber outlines that” nothing is more satisfying to any minority group than having someone who looks like them represent them which was spoken by Bernice Johnson in Washington. Prominent lineup of witness signal that Democrats were winding down their case after more than a week of calling experts and minority leaders affected by the new map. According to the article the Democrats the new boundaries would create “tension district”. “Over crowded minority districts split among blacks and Hispanics and divide over which candidates to elect.”
Is this a real problem? Was this good strategy for the republican parties? As stated in the article:”It’s difficult to believe that it could happen by accident, the type of surgery that was performed,” by Green in relation to the map. I say: we the people should stop letting them force feed us whatever. Do the research; take a personal interested in who we elect.
This article is worth reading because it demonstrates one of the many examples of politics at work. Mountains and mole hills, get there mines off the facts. What are the key issues we need to focus on, does it really matter how the area is divide up or is it more important to get the people out to vote? Just a little added information, a another word related to prominent-conspicuous.
