The areas being redistricted in Texas are primarily Hispanic voters so I don't understand what you mean by "diluting minority votes."

I live in a Latino nbrhd,yet decisions are made by others,(white guys mostly),despite Latinos owning top businesses, doing hard work daily, commerce.This disconnect undermines true representation,equity, highlighting a systemic imbalance and deserves urgent correction, at large, across the Country.

Respectfully: This is precisely why teaching civics in schools is essential: understanding how systems like redistricting affect representation empowers individuals to engage thoughtfully in democracy and advocate for fair, equitable governance that truly reflects their communities’ voices.

Dilute means to weaken or reduce the strength, effectiveness, or concentration of something. In voting, it refers to dispersing a group’s votes across districts so their collective influence is lessened, limiting their ability to impact election outcomes or elect preferred representatives.

Redistricting dilutes Hispanic votes by splitting concentrated communities across multiple districts, reducing collective electoral power.This fragmentation weakens their ability to elect preferred candidates, effectively minimizing Hispanic influence despite their population size in those areas.

You’re describing the problem. Redistricting Hispanic-majority areas to split them across districts dilutes their voting power, this is called “cracking.” It prevents them from forming a majority in any one district, undermining fair representation. That’s textbook vote dilution.

Redistricting targets Hispanic voters by cracking communities,splitting them across districts to weaken their collective power. It’s not about removal, it’s about dilution, ensuring no single district reflects their majority voice. That’s textbook vote suppression. Google TX cherry mandarin case.
