Facing a second lawsuit over his new congressional map for Texas—labeled by critics as “racial gerrymandering”—Gov. Greg Abbott curtly dismissed the legal challenges.
“Fully expected,” Abbott said Wednesday as he took a brief victory lap during an event at the Texas Capitol.
A day earlier, the NAACP sued to block the redistricting plan, which Abbott sought at the behest of President Donald Trump. The NAACP alleged the map prevents Black voters from electing candidates of their choice. On Sunday, the League of United Latin American Citizens—on behalf of 13 Texans—also sued over the map.
