Yet another lawsuit has been filed against the state of Texas over its abhorrent redistricting maps, which were approved last month by Gov. Greg Abbott after the third and final special legislative session of the year. The Texas State Conference of the NAACP is being represented by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Dechert LLP, who filed their complaint in federal court in the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, last Friday.

The lawsuit explicitly names state Rep. Todd Hunter, who chairs the House Redistricting Committee and filed the house redistricting plan that was tinkered with but ultimately passed. Along the way, Hunter blocked public testimony from experts, imposed strict time limits on key hearing components, and forced lawmakers to push his proposals through while disregarding and ultimately voting down a baffling number of amendments designed to protect voters of color.

Also named is state Sen. Joan Huffman, who chairs the Senate Special Committee on Redistricting and introduced congressional and senate redistricting maps. Huffman routinely ignored requests to show how the redistricting maps that were ultimately adopted complied with the Voting Rights Act and said she saw no evident reason to create any new opportunity districts for voters of color, despite the fact that a majority of the nearly 4 million new Texas residents counted in the recent census were Black, Asian, and Latino.

A section of the lawsuit describing Huffman’s aversion to acknowledging race when drawing the Senate map really says it all: “Senator Huffman told lawmakers and the public that the maps were ‘drawn blind to race,’ despite the fact that some consideration of race is necessary for compliance with the [Voting Rights Act].”

Texas lawmakers have had a markedly easier time elevating Republicans over actual voters due to the fact that redistricting for the first time in the state required no federal preclearance. A key provision in the Voting Rights Act in which federal oversight was necessary for states like Texas—along with regions and cities with histories of voter disenfranchisement—was struck down in 2013 by the Supreme Court.

Prior to the Shelby vs. Holder decision nullifying the 1976 Voting Rights Act amendment, Texas faced more than 200 objections by the Justice Department over redistricting and voting accessibility. It’s clear Texas hasn’t learned from its mistakes and groups like the NAACP and Lawyers’ Committee are more than willing to take lawmakers to task for the sake of accountability.

Lawyers’ Committee Voting Rights Project co-director Ezra Rosenberg didn’t mince words in a press release announcing the recent lawsuit: “This is backward and a perversion of justice that cannot stand. The court must recognize this illegal chicanery for what it is and rule that these maps are unconstitutional and act to protect the voice of every voter in Texas.”

In addition to this latest lawsuit, Texas faces legal challenges to its redistricting maps from the likes of Voto Latino, the League of United Latin American Citizens, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
