    The gerrymandering will still be in place for '28. The new Dems have 2 years to use their newfound soapbox to push the party forward.

      Not all the races are called yet, but state-wide Texas was +5 or +6 Dem in down ballot races like Lt Gov, railroad commissioner, & AG. Yet it looks like 60-70% of the 38 US house seats will remain Republican. That’s still gerrymandered AF.

      The headline and reference to flipped seats make it seem like their gerrymandering didn’t work… It just didn’t work as well as it could have.

    I’d love to see a law that distributes voters among electoral districts on a strict mathematical base, eg. Based on minimum distance algorithms. No input except home address location straight from census data.
