What is happening in McKinney now is unconstitutional and a violation of the 14th amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This is important to pay attention to because if constitutional rights to choose your own elected official is taken from citizens in McKinney, they can be taken from citizens ANYWHERE.
