LULAC sued Texas Democratic Party over primary delegates

he Texas Democratic Party was sued Friday by Latino advocacy groups that contend the complicated primary and caucus system used in the March 4 presidential primary unfairly diluted Latino votes.

The League of United Latin American Citizens of Texas and the Mexican American Bar Association of Houston sued in federal court, arguing the party failed to seek clearance required by the U.S. Justice Department for the so-called “Texas Two Step.” The groups also argue the system effectively discriminates against Latino voters by giving them fewer delegates.”*
