Not exactly, but close. It was a Mexican-American Texas Legislature Democrat representative (don't think he is senator, but could be), who filed the law suit. He thought the lines were discriminating against Mexican-Americans.
Our primaries were in March, but this law suit happened, so they moved it to April 3, thinking it would be done by then. Well, it isn't, so now it's May 29.
Well, it isn’t, so now it’s May 29.
That even maybe optimistic as I’m seeing June tossed out as a possibility.
Super Tuesday was the orginal schedule which would have allowed Texas to be in the first 35% of delegates selected. Pushing it back to Apr. 3 put the percentage to 63%. Now in late May it will be at 85% or higher if it goes into June.
One possibility is to have the Presidential primary split off from the others and that could still be on Apr. 3, but time is critical for that date along with the expense involved.
It appears some 50+ state house district lines are under discussion and I’m sure some state senate districts also. I think Sen. Wendy Davis got his old district back pretty much intact from what I’ve see.
Still a mess.
Which one one hand I can understand, who wants to work with a complete idiot but then on the other hand he's not only a complete dork he's also ineffective.
To me the way the map was drawn they were taking it away from the Austin commies and giving it to the Mexicans but there ya go.
