Texas hit with first lawsuit challenging its mid-decade redistricting to benefit Trump

Turns out they were right. Hours after the Texas Senate rubber stamped a new U.S. House map designed to give the GOP five more seats, plaintiffs filed a 67-page federal lawsuit accusing Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson of engaging in a racially engineered restructuring of the state's voting power.
