President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has targeted one particular state more than others when it comes to lawsuits and condemnations: Texas.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday the DOJ is suing Texas — again — for an alleged violation of the Voting Rights Act. This latest lawsuit accuses Texas officials of diluting the vote of Latino and black residents in its new Congressional maps for 2022 after the maps created two new majority-white districts despite recent population growth being driven almost entirely by minorities.
Garland seemingly has a bone to pick with the Lonestar state. This is the second time the DOJ under his watch has sued Texas on the issue of voting rights. In November, the Department sued Texas over Senate Bill 1, its new election law. The DOJ alleged then that Texas was violating Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act by denying voters “meaningful assistance” at polling places.
Voting rights isn’t the only issue Garland has gone after Texas for. He released multiple statements condemning Senate Bill 8, which uses controversial methods to ban abortion after six weeks. When those didn’t work, the DOJ sued the state and petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the law.
