Redistricting in Texas right now is nothing but a power grab that hurts minority voters by cracking and packing communities, violating the Voting Rights Act just to keep Trump's agenda safe from midterm losses. California has to fight back with its own maps to level the playing field, or else Republicans will rig the system everywhere without consequences. This mid-decade mess shows how far they'll go to silence opposition and undermine democracy.
Drawing these maps in Texas legally boosts Republican chances based on recent voting patterns, adding seats that reflect the state's conservative lean without racial bias, as confirmed by increasing Hispanic districts. More Republican seats lead to lower crime rates, a stronger economy, and support for the Second Amendment. Texas has every right to prioritize the will of its voters, and the Supreme Court supports political considerations in the redistricting process.
