articleThe Brief Voting rights groups say Galveston County plans to use new precinct maps in November after holding March primaries under older boundaries.
The groups are asking the Texas Supreme Court to block the new maps from taking effect this November.
Two voting rights groups are accusing a Texas county of a plan to change voting maps between March's primary election and November's general election.
The move, the groups argue, also prevented potential candidates from running for election in the newly drawn precincts.
"Election rules should not change after voters have already begun casting ballots," Bernadette Reyes, voting rights counsel at the UCLA Voting Rights Project, said.
