The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, to elect the 36 U.S. representatives from the state of Texas —an increase of four seats in reapportionment following the 2010 United States census . The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election and an election for the U.S. Senate . The primary election had been scheduled to be held on March 6, 2012, with a runoff election on May 22; because of problems arising from redistricting, the primary was postponed to May 29, and the run-off to July 31.[ 1]
With 58% of voting age people turning out, all existing seats were held by their respective parties with one exception, the Democrats picking up the 23rd District. Of the four new seats, two were won by the Republican Party for a total of 24 seats, and two were won by the Democratic Party for a total of 12 seats.
In March 2011, The Texas Tribune Republican Party , with one district drawn to favor the Democratic Party ; while 37 per cent of those polled felt two districts would favor Republicans while two would favor Democrats.[ 2] Lamar Smith argued that the seats should be evenly split between the parties in order to reflect Texas's growing Hispanic population and abide by the Voting Rights Act . Joe Barton , also a Republican U.S. Representative, disagreed, arguing that three or four of the districts should favor Republicans.[ 3]
Also in April, the Mexican American Legislative Caucus filed a lawsuit against Governor Rick Perry and the state of Texas, seeking to halt redistricting based on census data which allegedly failed to count up to 250,000 Hispanic residents of colonias [ 4] Lloyd Doggett released a map which he alleged had been submitted by Republican members of Congress to leaders of the Texas Legislature . The map would divide Travis County between four districts, three of which would favor Republicans and one of which would favor Democrats.[ 5]
In May, state representative Burt Solomons , a Republican, expressed concern that the legislature would not produce a congressional redistricting map by May 30, when it was scheduled to adjourn, and that a special session would be necessary.[ 6] State senator Kel Seliger , the chair of the Senate's Select Committee on Redistricting, also downplayed the likelihood that redistricting legislation would be passed but emphasized the importance of creating a "credible instrument for the court to consider."[ 7] [ 8] federal court or in a special session.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
On May 30, Perry called a special session.[ 12] African Americans and Hispanic Americans form majorities in two of the new districts, while the other two new districts gave Perry more than 56 per cent of their vote in the 2010 gubernatorial election . The districts represented by Doggett and Republicans Quico Canseco and Blake Farenthold would be made more favorable to Republicans. Democratic state representative Marc Veasey and Nina Perales of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund criticized the plan, which they said failed to increase the number of minority opportunity districts.[ 13] Gene Green filed a lawsuit against the map, alleging that it would neglect Hispanic population growth primarily in Harris County.[ 14] [ 15]
A new map was proposed by Seliger on June 2, under which Republican U.S. Representative Ron Paul 's district would be significantly modified and a district which linked urban Houston to rural East Texas counties would be redrawn. The map was passed by the State Senate's redistricting committee,[ 16] party lines on June 6.[ 17] Charlie Gonzalez 's district.[ 18] [ 19] [ 20] [ 21]
On September 13, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice said that, based on a preliminary investigation, the map appeared to have been "adopted, at least in part, for the purpose of diminishing the ability of citizens of the United States, on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group, to elect their preferred candidates of choice to Congress" and would have a discriminatory effect.[ 22]
On November 8, a federal court refused to approve the Legislature's proposed map, thereby necessitating lengthy legal proceedings and the implementation of an interim map for the 2012 elections, to be drawn by a panel of federal judges.[ 23] [ 24] Greg Abbott , the Texas Attorney General , announced that the state would file for an emergency stay from the U.S. Supreme Court .[ 25] [ 26]
On January 20, 2012, the Supreme Court rejected the map drawn by the federal court, holding that the court had not paid enough attention to the maps drawn by the legislature, and sent the case back to the lower court.[ 27]
