Texas Democrats flee the state to Illinois.

Or, ever heard of Redmap? A push by Republicans to deliberately gerrymander so they can CHEAT.

If they gerrymander right they don’t need to cheat, Simp.

"Texas Democrats leave the state to prevent vote on GOP-drawn congressional map"

Yep, North Carolinan Republicans are famous for it, now Texas wants to do it, so the Democrats left the state, now the republicans want to kick them out of office for trying to stop blatant cheating.

Seems Trump's dictatorial ways are spreading.

"
Texas House Democrats left the state in a desperate bid to block an aggressively partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional map orchestrated by Republicans with the support of President Donald Trump.

The last-ditch attempt Sunday adds kerosene to an already smoldering political battle in the Lone Star State that has significant repercussions in Washington, where House Republicans enter a challenging midterm landscape with a razor-thin majority.

In a hostile response, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott threatened late Sunday to remove lawmakers who don’t show up when the state House convenes Monday afternoon, equating the absence to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.”"

California did this and Democrats were fine with it.

The lack of self-awareness from the demented LEFT on EVERY subject is astonishing.

Fixed it for ya.

 

[mudwhistle]

They sure as hell did not care about the 15 million that voted for Biden in the dem primaries.

They're communists. They'll tell their voters eating catshit is healthy for them.

 

[Oddball]

Hilarious. Dems in California are doing the same type of redistricting to maintain their iron fist control over their rapidly failing state.

But that's (D)ifferent!

It's only cheating when Republicans do it, right?

When Democrats do it, it's democracy, right?

Nice scoop, Jimmy.

Here we go again.

Texas Democrats are once again fleeing the state to deny a quorum to Texas Republicans to protest redistricting plans that may provide Republicans up to five Congressional seats.

Here We Go: Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum for Redistricting, and Now the Real Fun Begins

Texas Dems flee to Illinois to deny quorum for redistricting amid escalating political tensions.

Yeah, they've pulled this stunt before...last time fleeing to Oklahoma. But Oklahoma, being a Republican state, said... Come and get 'em.

So this time they've fleeing to Chicago, ostensibly to protest alleged gerrymandered.

Non-partisan commissions don't exist in reality, no matter how much they claim to be.

It's just more cover for partisan hackery.

The GOP lege in Texas is the epitome of partisan hackery.

 

[martybegan]

They didn't do it in the middle of the decade. They drew those maps after the Census and the Republicans had three additional seats with the current map, but lost them in last year's elections.

NY's process took 4 years after the census, and unless Texas law limits it to every 10 years, there is no legal issue here.

Partisan hackery = common sense proposals that put Texans first.

Well there's that Dem respect for democracy, voters and the will of the people again. Democrats are 150% full of SHIT!

Yep, when Republicans do it the judges need to fix it.

Bro communists would be a significant improvement over Democrats. Democrats are determined to go down in history as the lowest bunch of scumbags ever to hold office. There's no lie they won't tell. No scheme, no plot, no corruption or lawless they won't use. Lately they even screw over their own leaders.

"Texas Democrats leave the state to prevent vote on GOP-drawn congressional map"

Dems seem severely butthurt that the GOP has learned to use Dem gerrymandering tactics. Dems squeal like stuck pigs, while continuing to gerrymander everything in their power.

 

[BluesLegend]

Oh my GOD. Gerrymandering just started as a thing this week?

Holy shit!


I thought it was invented in 1812 by Elbridge Gerry, governor of Massachusetts?

Apparently Texas invented it this week.

Wow!

Tip of the iceberg. Did you know MA Democrats routinely change laws to RIG a Dem into office, then change the same law back right after.

Voting Is cheating now?? Dems continue their assault on democracy and democratic institutions by trying to prevent votes

Like when NY lawmakers changed the law so that people could sue and prosecute Trump

They literally target political rivals

No, leftardo shill, no.
What they are doing is unDEI-ing the Texas districts as per The Civil Rights Act that many Americans fought, bled,
and died for, including Martin Luther King Jr.. Hundreds of thousands fought for that, blacks did not do it alone.
And Obama did really bad by all of them. Our government should not be segregating things by race.
Agree, or no?

It’s not illegal, but it is an attempt to twist democracy. Redistricting is done after the census, not halfway ‘til the next one, unless there’s an attempt to steal peoples’ votes.

well if it isn't illegal what is the issue? the people want it, demofks don't own the district. who the fk do you all think you are?
