Wednesday’s session, which began at 11 am, became an one-hour deadlock between Republican, which defended his right to add more GOP-favorite seats, and Democrats, who used the session to pass and oppose the bill and opposed how it would break the colored communities.
Many times the session was heated and even personal.
“Question, do you believe that it will be a great process to include the public in such a way that they can see what is going on, or do we want to do things in the cloak of darkness here?” Asked the state representative. Barbara Garvin-Hakins.

Democratic-focused and civil rights groups are already getting ready to challenge the Texas map. Texas Democratic Party President Kendal Skadar indicated that the state party is also getting ready to fight the map.
“This was a deliberate violation of the Polling Rights Act, which was aimed at reducing the voice of minority voters across the state,” Skadar said in a statement after the bill was passed. “This cracking of majority-nostalous districts is derogatory, and all this is to help Donald Trump to avoid accountability for his actions. This fight is far away. We, and American people, will see this map in court.”
Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to stop California from passing a new home map through a ballot initiative in November.
