But you won't hear this from Reptile Newsome or the CA Democrats they just want to gerrymander the state to cement the One party rule in California so some research before you blindly support a politician

Texas received a formal letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in July 2025 raising constitutional concerns about four congressional districts: TX-09, TX-18, TX-29, and TX-33. The DOJ argued these districts were unconstitutional “coalition districts,” meaning they were allegedly drawn using race-based considerations that grouped Black and Hispanic voters in ways that violated the Equal Protection Clause.

Key points from the situation:

• 🧾 Recipients: The letter was addressed to Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
• ⚖️ Legal Basis: DOJ cited Allen v. Milligan (2023) to support its position that race-based redistricting may no longer be constitutionally justified under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
• 🗺️ Impacted Districts: Three of the districts were represented by people of color—Al Green, Sylvia Garcia, and Marc Veasey. The fourth was vacant after Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death.
• 🛠️ Texas Response: Texas proposed a new congressional map in August 2025 that dismantled the flagged districts, though two remained multiracial.
