the republican county commissioners in galveston county texas, who are all white, incidentally, they drew up new voting maps, which is what you can do after a new census. the maps they drew up had a very specific purpose. those new maps split up and diluted the relatively large minority population of galveston county so that in the new maps there wouldn't be any districts that had too many minority voters. the new map would result in the only two democratic county commissioners in galveston likely losing their seats, including the only commissioner who was african-american. voilÀ. thanks to one new map, the entire county government would presto, be run by white republicans. it's a neat trick. the white republican commissioners in galveston didn't bother to tell the black commissioner at the time. they just approved the new maps as a surprise to him. oh, look what we did. did we forget to tell you? but the federal government stepped in and stopped that. the justice department said the new maps were illegal and discriminatory under the voting rights act. the courts agreed. the maps we

it seems like that could apply in texas, in galveston and other areas. is there oh -- through the courts, compared to win the voting rights act was still in force. is there still potential help coming from the courts? >> there is a remedy, rachel, but it's a harder remedy. previously, galveston would have had to approve this kind of racially discriminatory change with the federal government. and it would have been blocked, which is why they did not propose this kind of thing in the first place. now they can do it. you can only charge it after the fact. so there is going to be litigation filed, not just in galveston but in places like texas and georgia where they are this and acting discriminatory statewide maps. it will take a long time to litigate these cases. meantime, cases will be held under discriminatory and likely legal maps. ari, i think a lot of democrats and a lot of fair minded americans -- i'm glad we play that clip, of that white women speaking at that galveston meeting, saying i am not a democrat or republican, but this seems racist to me,

this week the republicans, the all-white republicans on the galveston county commission unveiled new voting maps, maps that break up the one district where black and hispanic voters compromise a majority of voters. this will almost certainly result in that one black democrat on the county commission losing his seat, meaning that after the next election in galveston county, which is 45% nonwhite, the highest levels of local government will be entirely white and entirely republican for the first time in decades. to vote on these new maps, the new commissioners convened in an annex building in a tiny meeting room less than half the size of their meeting place in the courthouse. there were no microphones or room for the citizens who showed up. the outraged citizens, nevertheless, showed up. >> i'm neither democrat nor republican. what i do know as a woman born in the south and raised in the south is that this map, both of them are racist. we know it. i ain't no fool. neither are these people. >> what they're doing is destroying totally precinct 336, which is a destruction of the communit
