Abstract
As I discussed in my previous post, Texas’s conduct during the 2011 redistricting cycle qualifies it for bail-in. But as is often true in election law, this case raises novel constitutional questions. The first question is whether a Shaw violation can trigger bail-in. The second question is whether Section 3(c) remains constitutional after Shelby County.
