The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is sueing Texas on its redistribution plan that will eliminate the seats of five Democratic Congress.
NAACP filed a case on Tuesday, arguing on the map of the new Congress, “implemented with controlling an impervious and discriminatory purpose on the basis of the race.” It names Texas Gove Greg Abbott and Texas state secretary Jane Nelson as a plaintiff.
NAACP President and CEO Deric Johnson said in a statement on Tuesday, “It is clear that before next year’s mid-term elections, the attempt to revive the middle-dress between Texas is racially motivated. The state’s intention is to reduce the members of the Congress who represents the black communities, and that, and that, and in themselves, and in themselves, and in themselves, and in their own, is unconstitutional in themselves.”
Meanwhile, NAACP stated that it is also encouraging Blue States to implement its own redistribution plans in an attempt to offset the effects of the new Texas map.

“Currently, NAACP is urging California, New York and all other states to work immediately by re -recurring and passing new, valid and constitutional electoral maps,” the group wrote on Tuesday. “We should compete with Texas’s unconstitutional move and ensure that if everything else fails, black Americans still have a voice in Congress.”
Texas passed its new map on Saturday, which pulls the political victory despite the weeks of breaking the quorum of the Democrats, including running away from the kingdom to avoid a redistributed vote.

However, this map will face a statewide vote on 4 November before adopting the first November 4. Taxpayers are expected to spend some $ 230 million in that particular election.
Newsom’s office has argued and responded to criticism around the cost, “There is no value tag for democracy.”
