Harris County is solidly democratic. Biden was +13 here and Republicans haven't won a countywide race since 2014.
Yet a proposed precinct map by the GOP commissioners would leave their party well-positioned to retake control of county gov't next year.

Here's the current map, drawn by Republicans in 2011. It packed Democrats into Precinct 1 and created Republican majorities in 2, 3 & 4. 
Here's Republican Commissioner Cagle's plan. It's pretty much the same map, except for adjustments to even out the population of each precinct. Dems still packed in 1, leaves 2, 3, & 4 as tossups.
Democratic Commissioner Ellis's map would be a significant redraw. Packs Republicans into Pct 4, makes Pct 1 heavily D, 2 & 3 lean D. Result is likely 3 D seats and 1 R seat by 2025.
