"Texas Redistricting Feud May Cast a Long Shadow"

The Sacramento Bee offers this report. A snippet:

Any day, a three-judge federal panel in Texas that was handed the case by the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide whether the mid-decade restricting based on 2000 census figures violated the "one person, one vote" protections in voting rights laws.

A ruling against the state of Texas could complicate Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's push in California for new congressional and legislative districts this decade - an effort he says will make elections more competitive.
