The GOP-led Texas state senate just released a draft congressional map, and the gerrymandering we’ve been warning about is brazen. Republicans have made it clear that they don’t care about a fair electoral process - they only care about retaining power. #txlege
We know that 95% of the population growth came from people of color and was centered in urban and suburban communities across the state, yet this map flat out ignores that. What a slap in the face to Texans and democracy itself.
@DemRedistrict I live in Texas. My vote (not exactly) puts these so-called ethical people in power. It’s time mine (and others) voted (exactly every election) these men back home. Time to go home boys.
@DemRedistrict @RedTRaccoon Sounds like tories in the UK
@DemRedistrict when God draws his boundary line ....for all of us... heaven or hell...everybody including those in power and nobodies will be excluded!! taking all that each man/woman has done by their deeds to serve themselves!! we all have a day coming
@DemRedistrict #Gerrymandering #Autocracy "As soon as Fidesz won power in 2010, it began rigging the system. It redrew parliamentary boundaries and added a novel concept of “winner compensation” that awarded the victorious party with extra votes." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@DemRedistrict Be wary. If, then something will have to be done to counter a power takeover: nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
@DemRedistrict They know a free fair election will kill them.
@DemRedistrict If you look at the country on a electoral map, you'll see much of it falls conservative. That's because the vast low-population regions vote conservative (99.999% of the time) & you'll see much-smaller chunks of color which are generally densely populated liberal areas. 🧵👇
@DemRedistrict They may tilt too much. They are taking 1/2 the demos out of Ronnie Jackson’s and 4 other seats to shore up other incumbents.
