U.S. Supreme Court Divided Over Texas Electoral District Fight
- 6 years ago
The U.S Supreme Court appeared divided on Tuesday as it heard a bid by Texas to revive Republican drawn electoral districts. The districts were thrown out by a lower court for diluting the influence of black and Hispanic voters. The case is the latest in which the justices are pondering gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is where electoral districts in states are drawn in a way that amplifies the power of certain voters.
