Madison, WI - On Saturday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned from a credible source within the Democratic Party of Wisconsin that the proposed People's Maps Commission's (PMC) recent redistricting maps were allegedly provided by the National Redistricting Democratic Committee (NRDC) headed by Eric H. Holder Jr. The PMC redistricting maps, if approved would crack and delute the voting voices in the State Assembly District 8th and 9th, which are both majority Latino districts including the State Senate District 3 located on the predominantly Latino Southside area.
The PMC redistricting maps will also delute two Black majority Senate districts and at least 6 Black majority State Assembly Districts making them below 50% population of color or minority "Opportunity Districts", which would definitely violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The NRDC as a strategic ploy is promoting minority "Opportunity Districts" throughout the nation in order to challenged the GOP's gerrymandering maps that have kept the Republicans in political power for decades.
