The Republican-controlled Texas house on Wednesday approved a redrawn congressional map requested by Donald Trump and fiercely opposed by Democrats, who led a weeks-long protest to stall the effort that kicked off a coast-to-coast redistricting arms race between red and blue states.
With the house’s approval, the measure next goes to the state senate, where it is expected to pass, possibly as soon as Thursday. It would then be sent to the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, for his promised signature before taking effect.
Gotta serve their felon rapist pedophile daddy.
Texas is full of cucks.
Proceed California.
Republicans are spineless bitches who claim to love the law but have 0 issues breaking it
Fuck these fascist christian fucks
I hope these MAGA get hurt bad by all of Trumps polices and they go blue. Imagine changing the maps and getting fucked over when Texas turns blue?
Would be an amazing turnaround. Imagine what Texas could do if it had some ethical leadership?
Texas will never turn blue. They are too fucking stupid.
The whole reason they’re doing this new illegal heavily gerrymandered map is because they are blue and are trying to stay red.
It’s like a woosh went over their head.
they are blue
No, they’re very much not.
Using the district map to prove me wrong just proves me right???
According to independentvoterproject.org of 17,485,702 total registered voters, 46.52% are registered Democrat and 37.75% are registered Republican.
Yes. And?
The last time Texas voted for a Dem president was 1976.
Pretty fuckin red, wouldn’t you say?
Do you know what gerrymandering is? Do you understand how our representative democracy functions in practice?
Do you know that gerrymandering has no impact on presidential elections?
*thanks to help from the texas Democrats who promised to block the bill
i never understood the reasoning of the democrats flight from texas to stop the vote for the districting.
“to stop the vote passing this session” oh how long did that stop them? “oh the next session started the second they got quorum” so… it stalled them for the time they flead…? “well no because the mechanism that uses the maps to determine the seats did not change…” oh so it fucking did nothing. democrats being performative again, and not the slightest bit useful.
