Texas Sparks a Seismic Redistricting Battle

These Dems are total hypocrites and grandstanders. They already have heavily gerrymandered states that under-represent the general electorate.

Since the last census was such an intentional mess to benefit the left, I have no problem with what Texas is doing!!

First, a few citizens should sue their respective representatives for willingly failing to report for work (to represent them for which they are paid). Fines should be significant to preclude similar action in the future! Those current legislators who are in attendance should complete the redistricting exercise and vote to pass it (although not legal). The absent legislators should then be given a choice to legally pass the standing bill or face lawsuits for willfully abandoning their responsibilities.

Yes! Fight fire with fire! The Democrats have done this extensively. All Republican controlled states should aggressively pursue this. Democrats are crooked e.g., Open Borders, change laws to allow 16 year olds to vote, no requirement for ID to vote, etc. Nonsensical outright stacking the deck in their favor.

Fire everyone of them. The charge is for being idiots! Hopefully, they won’t return, their salaries can go to flood victims. Governor Abbot is doing a great job. It’s not easy dealing with deadbeat democrats.

For decades, the Democrat Party has used redistricting as a dirty trick to hold and grab power. They screw over American citizens while pushing illegal immigration—thanks to Biden and Obama before him, Texas is flooded with illegals. They count those illegal aliens in the census to steal seats. In places like New York, they redraw districts so often it’s sickening—breaking up solid Republican areas just to bury them under Democrat majorities. Now they cry like babies when Texas fights back—not revenge, but survival. What kind of world lets crooked politicians run from the people they swore to serve? They don’t represent us; they serve themselves. Lock them up, throw away the key, and hold special elections after redistricting. No taxation without proper representation.

Hell yes. This is exactly what the Dcraps do every time they are in control. Turn around is fair play.

I'm very interested in seeing how Texas is going to handle the abandonment of the (d) faction. It looks like the (d)'s are choosing this issue to fall on the sword.

Yes for the best case! And it would be very interesting to see the outcome with result.

Texas should absolutely move forward—100 percent. They have every right to draw a map that reflects the will of the people of Texas, not the radical left in Washington. Democrats have been rigging maps for years in blue states, nobody says a word, but when Republicans do it, suddenly it’s a scandal. Texas is a strong, proud state, doing an incredible job, and they should make sure their districts are fair and keep America First fighters in Congress. That’s how you protect freedom and stop the socialist takeover—big league.

Absolutely!

And yet here we are again playing games in this country.. Why do we waste so much time and effort on petty b.s. political grandstanding when we should and could be eliminating the sources of the problems altogether. These Leftist "blue" governors and mayors have proven themselves unequivocally unfit to hold the positions they occupy. They harbor illegal aliens, support anti-American principled policy and undermine their mass constituents at every turn. Why are these parasites being allowed to remain in office?? The answer is quite simple, because the Republicans "red" don't hold them accountable per the letter of the law and instead engage them in their own bullshit games, as we see here, which is the only card they have to play. It's all about ACCOUNTABILITY folks, without it, the problems continue, with it, it ends in a major way. No more complicated than that my friends. Let's see if the powers that be ever actually put that practical notion to work..

J Blubber Pritzker, Hochul, and Newsom are digusting, hypocritical, liars... Pritzker can't find (reach his own ass with both hands but who could on that whale of a body) Hochul is only in office because her predecessor is a sleaze, and Newscum - Where do you even start?)...

I would like to know how Massachusetts actually gets away with having NOT EVEN ONE BLUE DISTRICT?! 40% of MA voters voted for Trump. Don't know the exact amount of republican voters we have in this state but I do know that it's enough that we've had 2 republican Governors in the last 15 years, or so. So what gives?

Dems have been redistricting for decades, moving lines to get more Dem legislators. They are so gerrymandered that some have NO Repubican legislators, yet they have over 30% republican voters. Ds have no legitimate standing against Tx gerrymandering. So MANY people have fled Blue states and come to Tx that we need to be redistricted to accurately represent the Texas people. The Cowardly Dems that ran away should be kicked out of their positions, but if not, everyone of them should lose every committee that they are on, not get any pay for when they were gone and have to pay the $500 per day for missing from their own pockets not Dem donors. Texans are SICK of them. They stopped work on things we need done. There is no excuse for them running away.

Yes, the maps should reflect the Republican to Democrat ratio instead of the one-sided representation in play now. It's about time!

Congressional districts should be drawn to reflect reality. The population of TX has changed a lot over the past 5 years so redistricting is needed to reflect that change. If the Dems have left the state, their houses should be considered abandoned and reopened as homeless shelters.

Absolutely.

Absolutely! The Demonrats have been doing to us for YEARS! There are already NINE blue States that have been gerrymandered to the point of there being ZERO Republican seats. THAT is not Democracy in action. Fight fire with fire!

I don’t know how to feel about the current situation. All I can say is I don’t like gerrymandering. I support having independent commissions draw the lines like is done in many blue states. I can see why Texas republicans want to redraw lines, but you know, I don’t know what the long term implications will be of this battle
