In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling a few weeks ago that Alabama violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act on Congressional redistricting, could recent suits against Texas prevail? The Trib takes a look. There's also timing questions of whether this would be SCOTUS decided before 2024 primary election dates, and if so, with the every-other-year banana republic Lege, if the solution would be a judge's election map for 2024 then the Lege doing a new one for 2026. Given Tex-ass past history, I'm assuming the state hopes to stall out past 2024 and then argue that current maps are a fait accompli so leave them alone.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
