I don't know the details, but I think Texas is a special case for some reason because of their civil rights history.

Yes. And all or parts of 16 other states. Good info about that here:

I should learn to never use absolutes. I did say realpolitic which to me means here and now, not maybe and when.

Yes - Texas and South Carolina and Georgia will go for Romney.

But DOJ isn't fighting this because it hurts Democrats politically if minorities are disenfranchised, they're doing it because it violates basic civil rights. I think the red state thing is moot.
Also, there are more than just presidential elections that matter. No states is 100% red (okay, maybe Oklahoma is).
