An Austin lawyer has sued council members over what he says is the denial of voting rights to tens of thousands of residents.
“They were moved from a council district that had been on their ballot to one that has never been and won’t be for two more years,” he told KUT. “In a representative democracy it is not the government that designates and tells people who their representative will be. The voters get to choose.” But when a group of volunteers redrew the council district maps last year — something the city does every 10 years based on new demographic data from the census — some residents found themselves in new districts being represented by people they didn't vote for.
