Black Agenda Radio · Black and Latino Voters in Galveston County Texas Fight for Voting Rights

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law recently published “Black and Latino Voting Power Under Threat in Redistricting Case.” It explains the lawsuit against Galveston County, Texas, brought by Black and Latino residents over its racially discriminatory district map. The county argues that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prohibits Black and Latino voters from filing a joint challenge against discriminatory maps, an assertion the Brennan Center disputes. Ironically, Galveston county is where the events which are commemorated in the recent Juneteenth celebration began. We discuss this case with Yurij Rudensky, Senior Counsel in the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program.
