BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhuanet)-- The U.S. Supreme Court
on Wednesday upheld the basic outlines of a Republican Congressional
redistricting plan in Texas.
But the supreme court mandated new boundaries for at least one South Texas congressional district to better reflect
Hispanic voting power as required by the Voting Rights Act.
Tom DeLay, the former House Majority Leader,
engineered the plan and pushed it through the Texas Legislature in 2003. DeLay,
who faces money-laundering and conspiracy charges in Texas, has since left
Congress.
The court handed a smaller victory to the Democratic
plaintiffs in the case, ruling that one Congressional district in southwestern
Texas had been drawn in a way that violated the rights of Hispanic voters
there.
But the court by a 7-2 vote refused to overturn the
entire map and rejected the argument that it involved an illegal partisan
drawing of boundaries of voting districts.
"Today is a clear victory for our state as the U.S.
Supreme Court upheld Texas' redrawing of a gerrymandered map, and preserved the
vast majority of the redrawn districts," said Rick Perry, a Republican.
