Prof. Charles “Rocky” Rhodes

kicked off a recent Houston Matters episode with a 12-minute interview segment titled, “Could a Supreme Court decision striking down Alabama’s congressional maps lead to the same thing in Texas?” He discussed the rationales of opinions in Allen v. Milligan, the potential impact of the case in ongoing challenges to Texas congressional and state legislative districts, and the outcomes of past voting rights challenges to prior redistricting attempts by the Texas Legislature in the 21st century.
