Redistricting: How Dems still work to limit minority power | Constitutional Amendment recommendations – Pratt on Texas for 10/18/2021

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Once again listeners have emailed asking for my recommendations on this year’s Texas constitutional amendment election. Early voting begins Monday, 18 October 2021 and runs through Friday, 29 October 2021. Election day is Tuesday, 2 November 2021. Most often all amendments pass with wide margins and I have no illusion that my opposition to some will make a difference but I give my recommendations.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Redistricting update and how most minority-majority districts are a trick from the old Jim Crow Democrats to keep minorities from gaining real power in various government bodies.

Legislative update – 3rd called special session must end by end of the day tomorrow.

Supreme Court picks up Texas gambling case.
