Okay, the US Department of Justice has entered the fight over redistricting in Texas.

The U.S. Department of Justice is throwing its weight into the legal fight over Texas’ newly drawn maps for Congress and the state House, filing a lawsuit Monday that claims Texas lawmakers discriminated against voters of color by denying Latino and Black voters equal opportunities to participate in the voting process and elect their preferred candidates.

That makes it less likely that we will have a March primary while this thing winds its way through the courts.

If they uphold it, and Texas flips, which it eventually will, payback is gonna be hell.

Sorry, I’ve got to rush off – I’ll have more tomorrow.

UPDATE:  There’s really not much to add.  We’ll just keep our eye on it and see if it will be fought seriously.
