proportion of minority voters, so the whitest voting site will serve 6,500 voters. while the most heavily minority site will serve over 67,000 voters. we turn that into a chart to make it clear as a punch in the face. the big new idea in greater houston was that the most black and latino and asian polling place should serve ten times as many voters as the whitest polling place. yeah, can't have white people waiting in line. the federal government looked at that plan from greater houston and they said, no. they told the tickdistrict to t again in a way that was more fa fair. the reason the federal government was empowered to do that -- one section of the hard fought, hard won voting rights act says that if a state or a county has shown enough problems with racially biased ways of administering election in the past, then that place gets special scrutiny until further notice.
