Li Senior Counsel Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law On SB 6 Meeting of The Senate Select Committee on Redistricting Austin, Texas September 30, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Chairwoman Huffman, Vice Chairman Hinojosa, and members of the Select Committee: Thank you for the invitation to testify before the Senate Select Committee on Redistricting. The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a nonpartisan public policy and legal institute that works to reform, revitalize, and defend our country's systems of democracy and justice. For more than two decades, the Brennan Center has built up a large body of nationally respected research and work on these issues, including in the fields of redistricting and election law. I am Senior Counsel in the Center's Democracy Program, where my work focuses on redistricting and the census. In my comments today, I will address three topics: the state's duty to consider whether it has an obligation to create minority opportunity districts, including minority- coalition districts, the regions of the state where Plan C2101 appears to be deficient in meeting the state's obligations under the Voting Rights Act with respect to minority opportunity districts, and the partisan gerrymandering implications of Plan C2101.
