Hispanic PR Wire - Hispanic Voters Vindicated in LULAC Vs Perry Texas Redistricting Case

“Today’s decision by the US Supreme Court in the LULAC vs Perry Texas Redistricting Case has vindicated our position that the plan drawn up by the Texas legislature eroded minority voting strength in Texas and is therefore illegal and unconstitutional. We demand immediate relief based upon the Supreme Court’s findings and we call upon the lower court to adopt a plan that is fair for all Texans not just those favored by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Every ten years the Hispanic community of Texas has had to go to the courts for relief as a result of unconstitutional redistricting that eroded minority voting strength. Last year, we were compelled to once again go to court and once again we have been vindicated by the U.S. Supreme Court in the LULAC vs. Perry decision that was released this morning. “
