Karl Rove: Texas Effort Creates Two Black Majority Congressional Districts, Isn’t That a Goal of the Voting Rights Act?

EXCERPT:

ROVE: “I remember well when Eric Holder, the Attorney General under Barack Obama, under what I think and what lawyers told me was a relatively, you know, thin legal covering, demanded that North Carolina redistrict in the middle of the decade in order to kill, in essence, 2 Democratic seats -- excuse me, 2 Republican seats and replace them with Democrats. Let me close by one note. What does the Texas effort do? It creates two black majority congressional districts, first time in the history of Texas. Isn't that a goal of the Voting Rights Act?”
