5th Circuit Permits Mid-Decade Redistricting in Tarrant County
Judge Willett, joined by Judges Barksdale and Duncan, ruled in Jackson v. Tarrant County that the county's decision to redraw precinct lines mid-cycle is permissible.
The Challengers, a group of voters reassigned from one district to another, contend that the County Commissioners Court redrew the lines to harm racial minorities.
The Challengers also argued that the County's staggered elections justify intervention despite the general rule against policing partisan maps. However, the court rejected these claims, stating that the facts do not support the Challengers' first argument and the law does not support their second.
In summary, the 5th Circuit permits mid-decade redistricting in Tarrant County, rejecting partisan and racial gerrymandering claims.
