American Democracy Minute Radio News Report for July 15, 2025 Timely to July 31, 2025 Tarrant County, Texas county commissioners approved a new county redistricting map June 3rd diluting the votes of Black and Hispanic voters, but commissioners claim the gerrymandering was for “political”, not racial reasons. The map likely eliminates a majority minority district, and has drawn widespread condemnation and a Voting Rights Act lawsuit. Since this report was first aired, the county commissioners committed to a $250,000 contract, using taxpayer money, to hire the Public Interest Legal Foundation to defend themselves. PILF, founded by White House counsel Stephen Miller, is the same organization which gerrymandered the districts in the first place.
