“Fifth Circuit affirms use of total population rather than CVAP”

TxRedistricting: “In a case involving the City of Irving and its city council districts, the Fifth Circuit yesterday affirmed the constitutionality of using total population rather than citizen voting age population (CVAP) in balancing out population among districts. Plaintiffs in the Irving case had alleged that because some parts of Irving have a high non-citizen population, those districts contained fewer actual voters than districts with a higher citizenship rate.”
