In a sworn statement, a retiring Republican Texas state senator said he believed the GOP violated federal voting laws when they redistricted State Senate District 10 in the Fort Worth area.
In November, Texas Senator Kel Seliger said, “Having participated in the 2011 and 2013 Senate Select Redistricting Committee proceedings, and having read the prior federal court decision regarding SD10, it was obvious to me that the renewed effort to dismantle SD 10 violated the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Constitution.”
Texas maps were redrawn and approved by Governor Greg Abbott in October. Some of the redistricting diluted the voting power of minority voters and increased districts with majority whites.
Texas Legislative Black Caucus member State Representative Jasmine Crockett spoke with Roland Martin during Friday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about Rep. Seliger’s remarks.
