OPINION ON MOTIONS FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT
HINES, United States Magistrate Judge.
This civil action for declaratory and injunctive relief challenges Orange County, Texas’s procedures for electing justices of the peace and constables. The four-precinct, single member structure is alleged to violate federal constitutional and statutory requirements prohibiting discrimination on account of race. The principal remedy sought is an injunction that requires creation of a fifth justice precinct in a portion of the county where black citizens are concentrated.
