It was unclear how the agency would respond. Democratic lawmakers left the state to stop Republicans from redrawing district maps to their advantage.

This is a very serious gerrymander as well. The current house seats from texas are 65% GOP to 35% DNC. This would push them to 75% GOP and 25% DNC.

Do you know how texas votes statewide? 56.1% GOP. Yea, texas is already gerrymandered to fuck, they just want to fuck it way, way more.

Good on the dems to fight for actual representation.
