Dallas County's commissioner districts discriminate against white people, lawsuit claims
A conservative group that lists a Texas lawmaker on its governing board has filed a lawsuit claiming that Dallas County violates the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against white people.
The suit filed in federal court Thursday by the Dallas-based Equal Voting Rights Institute argues that whites are a racial minority in the county and have been unable to elect their chosen Republican candidates to the Commissioners Court. It asks a judge to throw out the county’s district map and order a new one before the 2016 elections.
“Like something out of the bad old days, a southern electoral body (is playing) naked racial politics, intentionally using its power to minimize a dissenting race’s political sway,” the suit says.
Newly elected state Rep. Matt Rinaldi is one of four people on the institute’s oversight board, according to the group’s website.
