Candidate for Bell County Commissioner Precinct 4 Louie Minor, a Killeen resident, has joined a lawsuit from League of United Latin American Citizens against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for his or her claims that the current redistricting by the Texas Legislature was racially motivated.
According to a Thursday news launch from Minor’s marketing campaign: Texas House Districts 54 and 55 “in Bell County were drawn to dilute the Black and Latino voters’ ability to elect candidates of choice. Bell County districts were the product of intentional racial discrimination.”
Also the discharge claims that the Texas Legislature purposefully drew the Bell County districts to stop Black and Latino voters from electing their candidate of alternative.
Minor stated he joined the LULAC lawsuit final month.
“Joining this lawsuit is paramount to ensuring that Killeen and Bell County voters do not fall victim yet again to gerrymandering. I will continue to advocate for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act that will restore federal pre-clearance to redistricting among others,” Minor stated within the launch.
