Seems to be okay for Cali, Illinois and NY to do it.

I'm not a big fan of gerrymandering, but the democrats have this down to a science. This could be the difference between losing the U.S. House or retaining it in 2026. Hilarious they head to Pritzger's state.

The irony of democrats complaining about this gerrymandering in Texas and year, but say nothing about millions of illegals getting counted in the census to give them an additional 20-30 congressional seats. I find that really wrong.

How long will these democrats stay in Pritzker's Illinois? It's up to them. Paxton can do nothing outside of Texas. At the extreme Abbott could vacate their seats, but I can't see him going that far. Should face a daily fine of $500 if my reading is correct. I guess those wanting a few minutes of publicity and fame get something out of this, but eventually they have to come back an participate in the system and the redistricting vote goes forward. I would like to see any of these who have vice-chairmanships be stripped of those positions. Only through moderate leadership in the Texas House would we give this unnecessary power to the democrats in the committees.

Under the new plan, four of the five new congressional districts will be majority Hispanic.

And according to Abbott, that shift is EXPOSING something Democrats would rather not talk about.

"Four of the five new seats will be majority Hispanic," he said.

"One of the seats is going to restore the Barbara Jordan seat over in the Houston area."

That restoration, Abbott noted, is symbolic.

But it's the trend behind the numbers that's sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party.

"These are seats where Democrats are having to come to grips with reality," he said.

"That isthey're now LOSING the votes of Hispanics and Black voters in the state of Texas."


And he's not talking about a marginal shift.

He says these communities are making a clear choice.

"These districts are going to show that Hispanics and Blacks as well as others are voting for Republican and Republican is their candidate of choice."


No wonder they're up in arms, it blows their entire 2026 narrative to pieces.

Is thus much different from the House speaker Johnson sending the house home early to avoid a vote to oped Ep files?

FTR I think both actions were wrong.. I think its funny our govenor wants to vacate their positions.

I think gerrymandering is wrong no matter who does it.

If I stumbled across you wearing a TCU shirt I'd probably send you a private message. I'd not call you out publicly.

Thankfully we live on the other side of IH 35 and have Chip Roy representing us in Congress instead of fascist Lloyd Doggett. We have many friends cursed to be misrepresented by Doggett, another poster boy for congressional term limits.

Then why haven't you been speaking up while it happened in Illinois, California, Maryland, New York, and the rest of the Democrat Blue states?
