This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every ten years, the Texas legislature redistricts itself and the state’s congressional districts in an attempt to ensure equality in representation. With a richly textured cultural fabric, Texas often experiences redistricting battles that are heated enough to gain national attention. Collecting a variety of voices, including legislators themselves, in addition to lawyers, community organizers, political historians, and political scientists, Rotten Boroughs, Political Thickets, and Legislative Donnybrooks delivers a multidimensional picture of how redistricting works in Texas today, and how the process evolved. In addition to editor Gary Keith’s historical narrative, which emphasizes the aftermath of the Warren Court’s redistricting decisions, longtime litigators David Richards and J. D. Pauerstein describe the contentious lines drawn from the 1970s into the 2000s. Former state legislator and congressman Craig Washington provides an insider’s view, while redistricting attorney and grassroots organizer Jose Garza describes the repercussions for Mexican Americans in Texas. Balancing these essays with a quantitative perspective, political scientists Seth McKee and Mark McKenzie analyze the voting data for the 2000 decade to describe the outcomes of redistricting. The result is a timely tour that provides up-to-date context, particularly on the role of the Voting Rights Act in the twenty-first century. From local community engagement to the halls of the Capitol, this is the definitive portrait of redistricting and its repercussions for all Texans.

Book excerpt: The theory is posited that the legislature is first, unwilling to delegate apportionment authority to a non-legislative board, the Judicial Districts Board, and second, favors ad hoc judicial redistricting, and thus the mandate is unrealized. The premise for this theory is that legislators are politically predisposed to appoint that which benefits them, even if counter to stated policy goals. It is also posited that the manner in which district court judges are elected and the encumbrance of Texas' covered state status confounds judicial redistricting.
