NAACP President and CEO Deric Johnson said in a statement, “The state of Texas is only 40% white, but the white voters control 73% of the state’s seats.” “It is clear that before next year’s mid-term elections, the attempt to resolve between Texas is racially motivated. The state’s intention is to reduce Congress members who represent black communities, and that, and in itself, and in itself, is unconstitutional.”
Since the Voting Rights Act was adopted, the state of Texas has been discriminated against black and/or brown citizens, according to the NAACP, according to the NAACP.
