Texas Democrats Who Left State Plan Return to Start Legal Fight

Texas Democrats Who Left State Plan Return to Start Legal Fight

Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to prevent the passage of new congressional maps have announced plans to return next week. Their goal is to shift their strategy from blocking the maps in the legislature to challenging them in court. The controversial new maps, supported by former President Trump, are seen by Democrats as an attempt to unfairly redraw district boundaries to favor Republicans. By returning to Texas, the Democratic lawmakers aim to initiate a legal battle against the proposed maps, which they believe will diminish minority representation. The move marks a change in tactics, as the Democrats previously used their absence to deny the Republican-controlled legislature the quorum needed to pass the maps. Now, they are ready to engage in a courtroom fight to challenge the proposed redistricting plan.
