The party that fantasizes about stolen elections and routinely accuses the other side of cheating, is now doing just that. What Texas is attempting to do is a cheap trick. It should be illegal and struck down by the courts. This is a subversion of democracy. The voters should be choosing their representatives, not the other way around. If they are successful in this endeavor it may very well trigger "redistricting wars" in which the parties that have total control of a state draw up the most egregious gerrymanders they can to counter the opposition in other states. The result of this will be less competitive elections, voter disenfranchisement, and lower participation.

Texas GOP lawmakers released their first draft of the state’s new congressional map Wednesday, proposing revamped district lines that attempt to flip five Democratic seats in next year’s midterm elections.

The new map targets Democratic U.S. House members in the Austin, Dallas and Houston metro areas and in South Texas. The draft, unveiled by state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, will likely change before the final map is approved by both chambers and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott. Democrats have said they might try to thwart the process by fleeing the state.

This unusual mid-decade redistricting comes after a pressure campaign waged by President Donald Trump’s political team in the hopes of padding Republicans’ narrow majority in the U.S. House.

Currently, Republicans hold 25 of Texas’ 38 House seats. Trump carried 27 of those districts in 2024, including those won by Democratic U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar of Laredo and Vicente Gonzalez of McAllen.

No, they are doing exactly what Illinois, and Maryland, and other blue states have done with redistricting.

Stop falling for the MSM/Dem propaganda.

Why does it matter when it is done?

And no, the Republicans aren't losing the House in 2026. What they are doing is finally fighting back using the Democrats own tactics.

Illinois is over 40% Republican, how many members of the State Legislature do they have?

In Illinois, while a significant portion of the population may identify as Republican or lean towards the Republican Party, their representation in the state legislature is currently a minority
.

• Illinois General Assembly: Illinois's General Assembly (its state legislature) currently has a Democratic supermajority. Democrats control 76 state House seats, exceeding the 71 needed for a veto-proof supermajority, according to projections from the Associated Press after the 2024 election. Republicans currently hold 40 seats in the Illinois House.

This has been answered many times, you simpleton.

NO, it hasn't you ******* liar.

If there is ever going to be any serious prosecution of an alleged offender involved in any this disgraceful behavior, it is more important (in the beginning) to focus on the investigation and most prosecutors seek to avoid smearing the names of anyone who didn’t engage in sex with underage women or girls.

You're FOS.

Prosecutors question everyone.
Especially liars, who gives two different stories for the same event.
Call the incident a hoax.
Claim "others" made it up.

As I have previously noted, the Justice Manual for DOJ prosecutors even instructs them to refrain from engaging in such behavior.

No, they don't retard.

They question everyone.
Then clear them, if evidence warrants it.

You are now free to return to playing in traffic and painting your walls with more of your feces.

You can return to watching your Trump video.

While the recent moves by both parties has been to discouraged gerrymandering...trump is blatantly trying to steal the mid-terms. We cannot expect more from a Pedo-Felon. The man is a criminal.

Yes — because he runs the Texas legislature.

Seriously, jimbohack, you’re too stupid to breathe.
