Texas Primaries Remain In Limbo

SAN ANTONIO (February 13, 2012)--The fate of the Texas primaries remained in limbo Monday after neither the state nor minority rights groups appeared to budge during a weekend of court-ordered negotiations.

If anything, briefs filed Monday suggested that both sides are digging in.

The Texas NAACP is now calling for elections in May or June instead of rushing to get temporary voting maps in place for an April primary.

The primaries are still scheduled for April 3, but many observers believe a three-judge panel in San Antonio will declare that date unrealistic Tuesday during a key hearing in the long-running redistricting battle.

At stake is the political balance of power in both Texas and
Congress.

A compromise offered by the Texas attorney general last week was widely rejected by Democrats and a coalition of minority rights groups.
