If Texas Democrats flip the state legislature this November, that means Republicans don’t get to draw gerrymandered maps like this anymore. #TurnTexasBlue
The reason #TX35 was drawn this way was to pack as many people of color, young & progressive voters into one district as possible to dilute their votes so the GOP wins more Congressional seats. Multiple courts deemed it discriminatory & unconstitutional. But SCOTUS upheld it. 😡
Here's another beauty -- Dan Crenshaw’s district. Often described as Bart Simpson taking a dump.
In 2018, Democrats flipped 12 seats in the TX House. If they flip 9 more in 2020, then they take control. It's definitely possible.
Here are the 29th and 33rd Congressional districts in Texas. How would you even begin to describe these shapes?
A much more honest version of the #KeepTexasRed hashtag that's trending would be #KeepTexasVotersSupressed.
