Texas Districting Illegal?

Before this decade is over, we are going to discover the evidence to back the reality we already know: the Republican party bought, stole and sold American rights to fair elections, transparency and freedom, so that what it could NEVER get by votes (power), it could get by cheating and stealing:
Justice Staff Saw Texas Districting As Illegal: "Justice Department lawyers concluded that the landmark Texas congressional redistricting plan spearheaded by Rep. Tom DeLay (R) violated the Voting Rights Act, according to a previously undisclosed memo obtained by The Washington Post. But senior officials overruled them and approved the plan.

The memo, unanimously endorsed by six lawyers and two analysts in the department's voting section, said the redistricting plan illegally diluted black and Hispanic voting power in two congressional districts. It also said the plan eliminated several other districts in which minorities had a substantial, though not necessarily decisive, influence in elections."
