Problems with the New Map

By Byron LaMasters

Charles found the Quorum Report post earlier today that suggests that there are problems with three of the new districts created by the new GOP map. I'd agree with Charles that the likely problems are in the 23rd, 24th and 25th districts. In the 23rd, the Hispanic percentage was significantly reduced. The 24th district was converted from a minority-majority district to a white-majority Republican district, and the 25th stretched awkwardly from central Austin to the Rio Grande Valley. We'll see what happens.
