      Unless the republicans just give away $5000 dollar checks to every Texan, they are going to lose.

      If this doesn’t go their way, in a few years Repubs will just blame Dems for the gerrymander and vote to reverse it, like they are doing with mail-in voting.

      I have a question about the district in and around El Paso. In the neutral districts map it looks like it stretches across the entire western horn of the state. But in the gerrymandered map it is just the El Paso area. Did they just forget to add the border around the El Paso district in the former — because the number of people in the smaller blue district in the latter doesn’t change just because the colors around it change.

      They’re using a computer program. Humans can’t draw a map that unfair.

      I’m confused what’s happening with that El Paso district, how is that not overpopulated in your “neutral” map

      Also what is the criteria for neutral here because the “neutral” map is still heavily R biased

      Imagine if we lived under a functioning benevolent government that served the people instead of whatever this is.
