LWV OF TEXAS JOINS PARTNERS TO FILE FEDERAL REDISTRICTING LAWSUIT
League of Women Voters of Texas, joined partners of Fair Maps Texas Action Committee and other individuals, in filing a federal lawsuit, Fair Maps Texas Action Committee v. Abbott.

This lawsuit challenges new Texas state legislative and Congressional district plans as unconstitutional racial gerrymanders violating both the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Constitution. The suit details an inadequate redistricting process lacking transparency, which led to discriminatory voting maps that dilute the political power of communities of color, particularly Black, Latino, and Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters.
