| DOJÂ’s Secret Internal Redistricting Plans |
| 2011-11-03 |
| Via InstaPundit The Holder Justice Department has been using secret internal redistricting plans to try to force states, counties and cities to maximize the number of black elected officials resulting from redistricting. In the 1990′s the Department of Justice Voting Section engaged in illegal activity that was commonly referred to as “Max-Black” when reviewing redistricting plans in 16 states covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. In sum, it meant that DOJ Voting Section lawyers worked with groups like the NAACP to maximize the number of black elected officials in any legislative, county or city redistricting plan submitted to Justice. As I write in my book Injustice, this behavior cost the taxpayers a bundle in sanctions. Our good friend former Assistant Attorney General Loretta King was involved in this outrage. Everything old is new again, and the Holder Department of Justice is once again imposing Max-Black on the United States through the use of secret internal Max-Black redistricting plans that are used to criticize or attack plans submitted by jurisdictions which do not Max-Black. Tabella has this important post at ElectionLawCenter.com. These Max-Black plans are the sort roundly criticized by the Supreme Court, and often violate the Fourteenth Amendment. |
