The Voting Rights act gives them the power to keep insisting the Voting Rights act stands behind Latinos in South Texas. When their power grew at the ballot box, the state redrew maps to take it. They sued and The US Supreme Court decided [the state] had taken [Latinos' voting] power because they were about to use it. So new maps were drawn and the people of South Texas elected the candidate of their choosing, not of the party's choosing. When they wanted a Democrat, they elected a Democrat. (05:10–05:19)
