The Justice Department sues Texas over its redistricting proposal.

The Hill reports:

Attorney General Merrick Garland said the department assessed Texas’s new redistricting plans and “determined that they include districts that violate the Voting Rights Act.”

“The department’s career voting law experts have assessed Texas’s new redistricting plans and determined that they include districts that violate the Voting Rights Act,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a press conference announcing the lawsuit.

The new legal challenge comes after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in October signed into law a new congressional map that independent analysts say gives Republicans an unfair partisan advantage.

“Our complaint today alleges that the redistricting plans approved by the Texas state legislature and signed into law by the governor will deny black and Latino voters an equal opportunity to participate in the voting process and to elect representatives of their choice in violation of the Voting Rights Act,” said Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta. “Our complaint also alleges that several of those districts were drawn with discriminatory intent.”

Republicans have blasted Merrick for the lawsuit claiming he only goes after red states while giving blue states a free pass for the same allegations.



  1. I find that a stretch, as Texas wouldn’t do anything to prevent Lawful Citizens from voting.

    All I know, is we do need to give Mitch McConnell credit for keeping Garland off the SCOTUS bench.

  2. More crxp from a Department of Justice that is too liberal and owned by the Democrats! The same Department of Justice who labeled parents who deeply cared about their children’s education and questioned Boards of Education about the garbage being taught in schools “Domestic Terrorists.” Nothing good has come out of the Washington DC Swamp ever! And Washington has done nothing for Texas, couldn’t be bothered to help with the War against Mexico! Remember the Alamo!! Texas needs nothing from inept, incompetent, Biden or Garland!

  3. So, will Garland sue NY and Ill for doing the same thing for the Dumbocraps? Garland in non gender terms should be ‘Hey Fu__er!’

      1. That is why bone head is sending so many illegal aliens there and trying to pass the bbb bill to give them amnesty and the vote they want to flip Texas and Florida blue one thing you can say about the dimacrats that you can’t about Republicans is they stick together even if they are wrong and sure as hell CORRUPT

        1. Texas should pass them through to Delaware. That way the POS in the Whitehouse could enjoy them and spend his tax money on them.

    1. George Soros owns most politicians today, Republican, Democrat and Independants, they are not worried about winning, its already in the bag , they have a Braindead Puppet in place for Obama’s third term , Control all Election officials, Congress and the Senate, and a Army of Braindead Democratic Party Zombies as supporters, ( As well as the Algorithm that controls the Dominion Voting machines ) how can they fail to win?

          1. The people who voted against Trump are listening.
            I did not vote for Biden, he is weak.
            I voted against Trump, he is a weak sniveling puke.
            Not even one Democrat vote fraudster has been arrested.
            Give Biden credit for arresting three Republican vote fraudesters.
            There were six million fraudlent votes in the 2016 election.

          2. Yes there were 6 million fraudulent votes, ALL FOR Hitlery Rotten Clinton. For the record, diphit, Trump’s not in charge, China is. Thanks to $hitstains like you!

          3. Trump was in charge for four yeas.
            And still there was rampant voter fraud.
            Trump is a weak puke.
            Speaking of $htstains did you smear any of yours in the Capitol on Jan 6?
            Not enough balls?

          4. So you are bragging on how you threw your vote away because you didn’t want to vote for brain dead Joe and you weren’t going to vote for the guy that was bringing America back to greatness because you don’t like him. You show your stupidity and then you revel in it. ” Loser “

    1. It will not stop LEGAL CITIZENS to vote! This is a lie in order to cheat! I believe God will deliver us from that imposter and his crew soon! And that fool Garland should resign!
      1. Hey Albert you are in desperate need of psychological evaluation and measures should be taken to protect yourself and the public from your impending psychological breakdown.

  4. This Man Is A Classic Democrat Moron.
    He Is What Makes Our Country Sick.
    Biden’s Hook Pal Doesn’t Help Either.

  5. Please TEXAS invoke your right to leave the Union and become independent promise you will have the vote of your citizen and other states will soon join you

  6. Garland is a criminal doing the bidding for the CORRUPT biden COMMUNIST REGIME!!! This guy garland is dirty, and he lies because ALL THE LIARS IN THE biden disaster lie, so lying is the norm, msm also lies!!! BUT LYING IS NOT RIGHT, THAT SHOULDN’T BE THE NORM, THIS BS MUST END, AND IMMEDIATELY!!!

      1. You know nothing, but how to lie. Trump was no longer President, when Biden nominated Garland to be his Attorney General. So he couldn’t even fire him, let alone arrest him, as Garland was a sitting Judge, when Trump was President.

        If Trump’s DOJ failed to clean out the swamp while he was President, you can blame Jeff Sessions (hands off AG), and William Barr (who could not see election fraud in 2020 elections, staring him in the face.

          1. Thank you for your service.
            You showed those Yellow Commies how real men fight.
            With Naplam air strikes.
            It takes a real man to Naplam women and children.
            The weak pukes only shot them.
            What fun was that?
            They hardly screamed at all.

    1. Republicans are incapable of holding the Presidency, the Senate and the House.
      The Republicans only lost due to voter fraud.
      The Democrats stole the election.
      Weak pukes are so easy to steal from.
      Don, the little fingered, little puke boy, Trump.
      R. I. H.

  7. Will the real Joe Biden please stand up. How many more insane things are Biden and the DemocRATS going to do before this country wakes up. This administration is nothing more than a cast of clowns playing THE IDIOT PUPPETS, a live pantomime, for the rest of America to realize it’s time to wake up, stand up, and speak up for FREEDOM or we fall to the Cabal and bleak future. Good Luck going after Texas for anything they don’t want. 90 year old grandmas still carry a gun. Keep draining the swamp and one day it’ll disappear.

      1. One takes dick in the vagina, the other takes dick in the ass.
        You, however, take very dirty dick in your very dirty mouth.

  8. Illinois leads the country in Gerrymandering and it is legal according to the legislature and our POS Governor.

      1. Don’t feed the trolls. This guy gets TTN to blaspheme God and to taunt Republicans. Don’t answer nor speak to him. He’s only here to stir up trouble.

  9. If the Democrat Crime Organization keeps messing with Texas too much, they may wake up one morning to greetings from the Republic of Texas.

  10. Fake leader is a sick sob & needs to be IMPEACHED FOR DIRLECTION OF DUTIES!
    FAKE leader is CONTROLLED BY ZERO “o” & soros. Evil dems need all of America to be FEARFUL TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEM.

    GOD TELLS US NOT TO FEAR ANYONE. God IS TRUSTWORTHY so I WILL TRUST IN THE LIVING GOD & HAVE NO FEAR.

    This CHINA virus is no more dangerous that the flu. So America pull up your big person pants & start acting like an adult. We will have this CHINA virus for the rest of our lives, SO LETS GET ON WITH IT. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE ONE DAY. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY?? If not you better find out.

    JOHN 3:16-18 FOR THE ANSWER OF HOW TO FIND ETERNITY

    1. Who will impeach Biden?
      Trump?
      I will spend eternity in the sea from which all life formed.
      Is it your intention to spend eternity in an an imaginary place?
      What are your chances of getting beyond a dirt nap?

  11. When the DOJ becomes the political arm of any political party or issue involving “Red or Blue ” States it may be time for the majority of citizens ( voters ) start a process to remove their State from the entity called The United States and form their own Nation under the guidelines of the Constitution and rules of our Founding Fathers .>> Open borders ,killing & funding the lives of babies .,imputing vat laws and regulations under “what authority ” ,Foreign Policy, destruction of our national freedom related to energy AND these are just a few of the items in which we are not onboard with…>Words & Votes are not going to change the direction of our Nation >>>

    1. When he goes to Texas nothing will happen.
      Just like Texas can do nothing about Biden being in the White House.
      Trumpers are weak pukes.
      The only thing they are good at is smearing their feces
      It is grand fun watching the fecal smeares being marched off to jail.

  12. Are they looking into states that are run by Socialist/Democrats, who are also gerrymandering their districts to eliminate members of the GOP? Like Ohio and Colorado? Whoever is the governor at the time of redistricting, happens every ten years, depending on what party is in a majority, they normally change districting to favor their desired outcome.

  13. Look at the new Oregon redistricting. Republican lawmakers are also upset. Oregon SOS is definitely a huge liberal.

  14. Merrick keep you Socialist business out of our State. I think you commies pretty well have your socialist States so screwed up that our Democrat Socialist in charge of the House and running rampage with Biden and his know nothing cabinet are having to bail them out. We have a great State, LEAVE US ALONE.

  15. “Our complaint also alleges that several of those districts were drawn with discriminatory intent.” Thats real nice. I wonder who came up with that sting?

  16. yes, he should-resign in disgrace…of course, like fauci, they will continue with their corruption as long as the dishonest news stations keep covering them

  17. Gerrymandering has always been about drawing Congressional districts as to give the party controlling a state the political advantage and has been done by Democrats for years. But now they lost control of the majority of states so NOW what they had been doing and still do in states they control is racist and violates voting rights according to them and they’ll shop for leftist judges that will agree with them.

  18. Why does Merrick Garland strike me as a nerd at school who never played contact sports for fear of being hurt, and now suddenly has “Power” Hitler knew full well the power of putting nerds in positions of power and a Uniform And Australian Police are now bullying the citizens on instructions from their freemason authorities Its teh negative side of human nature. Or people who dont have a fear (Respect) for Gods Commandments
