Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Newsmax that the effort to draw new congressional district boundaries in Texas could help compensate for the left’s creation of special districts to support Democrat candidates.

Dhillon told “The Chris Salcedo Show” on Monday that the move by Texas Republicans to set new boundaries for several districts originated with a letter from her office. She explained that the Civil Rights office of the Department of Justice noted that a federal court ruled some of the so-called “minority districts” in Texas could be challenged.

“And so we sent a letter to Texas noting that their lines appear to be out of compliance in at least these four districts,” she said. “And when you have four districts that are wrong and you add that to their own analysis and public admissions about inaccurate undercounting of Texas in the census that was concluded a couple of years ago, you have a recipe where it seems appropriate for Texas to call for that redistricting.”
