A voter talks about her mail-in primary election ballot at her home on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, in Missouri City, Texas. It’s long been the case that federal law protects Black voters and Hispanic voters by pushing states to carve out voting districts so they can elect candidates of their choice. Now a case winding its way through the federal courts is testing the boundaries of the idea, with civil rights groups arguing that Black and Hispanic voters should be lumped together to form a minority coalition that qualifies for Voting Rights Act protection. The case comes out of Galveston County, Texas, which for three decades had a seat on the county commission that had a majority-minority population when Black and Hispanic voters were combined. The county eliminated the seat in the latest redistricting, sparking a federal lawsuit. (Melissa Phillip/Houston Chronicle via AP)
