Redistricting, The Black Press And the Black Vote

The article discusses Republican redistricting efforts in Texas aimed at increasing their representation in the House of Representatives ahead of midterm elections, which the author characterizes as gerrymandering to limit voting strength of Black and Brown communities. In response, California has initiated its own redistricting process to potentially convert Republican seats to Democratic ones, neutralizing Texas' efforts. The author emphasizes the Black Press's role in keeping communities informed about these redistricting battles, which are portrayed as part of a larger effort by President Trump to maintain power.
