    CNN) The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday challenging legislative maps adopted by Texas Republicans in recent weeks that it says fail to recognize growth in the Latino population and discriminate against Black voters.

    The lawsuit alleges that the redistricting plan drawn by Texas lawmakers violates the Voting Rights Act.

    "The complaint we filed today alleges that Texas has violated Section Two by creating redistricting plans that deny or bridge the rights of Latino and Black voters to vote on account of their race, color or membership in a language-minority group," Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a news conference.

    But D run states that gerrymander to suppress R's will be fine, because DOJ is completely corrupt.

    Garland is overstepping his authority and it would take an actual act of Congress to do what he's trying to.

    Not going to happen. He's going to get spanked. How is this the purview of the Justice Dept?

    He has nothing better to do, really?

    DOJ probably thinks the illegals and other non citizens are not equally represented.......
