JUDGE ENTZ'S INTERROGATORIES TO OLIVER, etal. - Page 3 

 



  

INTERROGATORY NO. 1: 
  

Identify each person you expect to call as an expert 

witness at trial and state. the subject matter on which the 

expert is expected to testify. Include within your answer the 

substance of the facts and opinions to which the expert is 

expected to testify and a summary of the grounds for each such 

opinion. 

ANSWER: 

Dan Weiser 
c/o Mullinax, Wells, Baab & Cloutman, P.C. 
3301 Elm Street 
Dallas, Texas 75226-1637 

Mr. Weiser will testify as to the conduct of past elections 

within Dallas County including those for county-wide office, 

City of Dallas office and any other races in which the witness 

can compare the success of black versus white candidates in at- 

large elections within the confines of any race held in Dallas 

County, Texas. He will further testify as to racial polariza- 

tion in context of analysis of which candidate is black and 

which candidate is white voters have voted for historically 

within Dallas County races as identified above. He will further 

testify as to incidents amounting to appeals to race during 

electorial contests between black and white candidates in Dallas 

County, Texas as identified above. He will further testify by 

example as to possible solutions to dilution of black voters’ 

strength caused by the at-large election of district judges 

 



  

within Dallas County. At this point in time, it is uncertain 

as to what other matters the witness may be asked to testify to 

within his expertise. Of course, these answers will be supple- 

mented as will all answers succeeding this one, if and when 

further information becomes available to intervenor /plaintiffs. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 2: 
  

If you claim that blacks and hispanics are politically 

cohesive in Dallas County, please state the factual bases for 

such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

Unknown at this time. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 3: 
  

If you claim that voting in wvallas County is racially 

polarized, please state the factual bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

Yes. Witness's analysis of past voting races in which 

white and black candidates were in contest for electorial 

position. The specifics of each race of political candidates 

that intervenor /plaintiffs contend had initial polarization will 

be answered by intervenor /plaintiffs' expert over the subject 

of his expert testimony. 

1NTERROGATORY NO. 4: 
  

Identify every Dallas County election you have 

analyzed, describing fully your method of analysis, and the 

 



  

results of such analysis. 

ANSWER: 

Intervenor/plaintiffs are unclear as to the term 

"Dallas County election". But if such means every election held 

within Dallas County, intervenor/plaintiffs' expert will analyze 

or offer testimony upon analysis previously performed of 

elections within Dallas County, including for Dallas County-wide 

position, City of Dallas position, state legislative races and 

any others that are germane from approximately 1970 forward. 

1The result of such anAlysis are better answered by intervenor/- 

plaintiffs' expert, but in general indicate that what has been 

racially polarized and that black candidates fare poorly in at- 

large elections contrasted with those held in single-member 

districts for black candidates. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 5: 
  

Identify every candidate for public office in Dallas 

County whom you have sponsored or preferred in the last twenty 

years. Include within your answer the date of the race, the 

position the race was intended to fill, the identity of the 

winner of the race, and the percentage of blacks, whites, and 

hispanics respectively voting for your sponsored or preferred 

candidate. 

 



  

ANSWER: 

Intervenor/plaintiffs are unclear as to the meaning 

of Interrogatory No. 5. If the terms "sponsored" or "preferred" 

indicate those that intervenor /plaintiffs have donated money to 

or who were voted for, intervenor/plaintiffs are unable to 

answer the question as stated. Otherwise, intervenor /plaintiffs 

would request clarification of the interrogatory prior to 

attempting any answer. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 6: 
  

Identify every factor and circumstance present in 

Dallas County with respect to the political processes leading 

to the nomination or election of candidates to public office in 

Dallas County that you claim is not equally open to participa- 

tion by blacks and that you claim gives blacks less opportunity 

than other members of the electorate to participate in the 

political process and to elect representatives of their choice. 

ANSWER: 

The factors that intervenor /plaintiffs assert operate 

to prevent equal participation by black candidates are the at- 

large election features of the Dallas County District Judge 

elections. Because black voters are in a numerical minority 

within Dallas County, and because such elections are held at- 

large with all voters in the county eligible to cast votes on 

all thirty-six (36) judicial district races, black vote is 

 



  

submerged and is unable to be given its full and proper weight 

in selecting candidates of black voters' collective choice. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 7: 
  

If you claim that any part of the established system 

in Dallas County for electing state district judges dilutes 

black voting strength, state the factual bases for your claim, 

if any, that the reasons for adopting such a system are tenuous. 

ANSWER: 

See answer to Interrogatory No. 6. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 8: 
  

If you claim that the system of electing state 

district judges in Dallas County is intentionally designed to 

discriminate against minorities, please state the factual bases 

for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

Intervenor /plaintiffs are uncertain as to the inten- 

tion of present county or state officials with respect to their 

discrimination against minorities. Dallas County has had a 

judicially documented history of discrimination against black 

and hispanic voters. Judgments have been rendered to such end 

in state legislative and City of Dallas City Council issues in 

the near past. 

 



  

INTERROGATORY NO. 9: 
  

If you claim that blacks in Dallas County have been 

denied access to a candidate slating process, please state the 

factual bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

It is unclear that black voters have access on an 

equal basis to any candidate slating process involving the 

Republican Party of Dallas County and/or the State of Texas. 

Although partisan, such party domination of Dallas county 

politics recently has resulted in a slating contest by the 

Republican Party. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 10: 
  

If you claim that blacks in Dallas County are hindered 

in their ability to participate effectively in the political 

process, state your factual bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

See previous answers. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 11: 
  

If you claim that political campaigns in vallas County 

have been characterized by overt or subtle racial appeals, state 

your factual bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

Insofar as intervenor /plaintiffs are personally aware 

at this time, some political campaigns in Dallas County histori- 

 



  

cally have been characterized by overt or subtle racial appeals. 

Those have been documented in state legislative and City of 

Dallas cltyicoumetl litigation in the recent past. Moreover, 

appeals to raise for overt and/or subtle in at least two (2) 

judicial district races within the last decade involving 

plaintiff Joan Winn White and unsuccessful candidate for 

vistrict Attorney, Royce West. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 12: 
  

If you claim that there is a significant lack of 

responsiveness on the part of the elected judges in Dallas 

county to the particularized needs of blacks, state your factual 

bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

The responsiveness of the current elected judges for 

Dallas County is unknown. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 13: 
  

Describe the location and population of each and every 

single member district you claim could and/or should be drawn 

in Dallas County with respect to electing state district judges. 

ANSWER: 

The location and population of each and every single 

member district intervenor/plaintiffs claim should or can be 

drawn within Dallas County is better left to intervenor /plain- 

tiffs' expert. Such plans have not yet been drawn but are in 

 



  

the planning stages at this point. 

  

INTERROGATORY NO. 14: 

With respect to your answer to Interrogatory No. 14, 

state the percentage of anglo, black, and hispanic members of 

the voting age population in each such district. 

ANSWER: 

Interrogatory 14 is unclear if it refers, in fact, to 

answers to Interrogatory 13, intervenor/plaintiffs are again 

required to defer to the expertise of their expert witness, Dan 

Weiser, whose preparation is incomplete at this point. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 15: 
  

For each person identified in response to Interrogato- 

ry No. 1, please list every engagement of the expert in which 

the expert was hired potentially to testify and in which Section 

2 of the Voting Rights Act was involved. include within your 

answer the person or group by whom the expert was retained. 

ANSWER: 

Intervenor/plaintiffs' expert to their knowledge has 

not been hired to testify in any matter in which Section 2 of 

the Voting Rights Act as presently worded has been involved. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 16: 
  

If you claim that blacks in Dallas .ounty are politi- 

cally cohesive, state the factual bases for such a claim. 

 



  

ANSWER: 

Intervenor/plaintiffs do claim that blacks or African 

American voters in Dallas County are politically cohesive. The 

factual basis for such claims are voting returns known to 

intervenor /plaintiffs and also the analysis presently being 

conducted by their expert witness, Dan Weiser. Such analysis 

is incomplete at this point. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 17: 
  

If you claim that white voters in Dallas County vote 

as a bloc usually to defeat your preferred candidates, state the 

factual bases for such a claim. 

ANSWER: 

White voters in Dallas County do vote as a block to 

defeat preferred candidates. Several instances, white candi- 

dates running against black candidates for reasons that could 

bear little or no relationship to merit, experience or qualifi- 

cation have nonetheless prevailed and have done so with a 

substantial block of the white vote weighing the substantial 

bloc of the black vote for the unsuccessful candidate. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 18: 
  

Identify all documents relating to your answers to 

Interrogatories 1-17. 

ANSWER: 

No documents were referred to. 

10 

 



  

INTERROGATORY NO. 19:
