Texas got two new congressional seats due to population growth, 95% of which was non-white. Their bogus gerrymandering negates that fact. Exhibit A (or B perhaps) why we need nonpartisan committees to take care of this henceforth. MUST prevent this kind of BS.
AUSTIN — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed into law new political maps drawn by Republicans that cement the GOP’s grip on power for the next decade but blunt the voting strength of nonwhite voters who fueled Texas’ population surge.Critics say the redrawn congressional, legislative and State Board of Education maps do not reflect the major growth of the Hispanic community, which made up nearly half of the state’s population gain since 2020. People of color accounted for 95% of the state’s population boom over the last decade, with much of the growth concentrated in cities and suburban areas, census data show.The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has already asked a federal court to toss out the maps, arguing the redrawn boundaries violate the federal Voting Rights Act and dilute the voting strength of Hispanic voters. The new maps are generally expected to withstand legal challenges, but battles over aspects of the boundaries could last several years.A second federal lawsuit against the maps was filed Monday, with advocacy organization Voto Latino and a group of individual voters arguing the new U.S. House boundaries dilute Latino and Black voting strength in violation of the Voting Rights Act.Because Abbott signed the redistricting plans before a Nov. 15 deadline set by state lawmakers, the primary election is slated for March 1, 2022.

One BlueAnon conspiracy theory du jour, coming right up!
Your doubt is noted. I'm not so pessimistic. In either case, why wouldn't we at least try to put a stop to it?

This is part of the Republican plan to take over this country. Texas is a racist state and proves CRT is true. Little wonder why Republicans don't want CRT. They don't want the truth spoken.
The DemoKKKrats are now Republicans and big Trump supporters. Texas is proof of it.

The GOP is not as big a majority as the map shows. Texas gained seats because of a increase in minority voters not whites. Yet the maps do not reflect that.
Not to this degree.

I never get tired of you idiots on the left who make a mockery of the word "racist" by using it to describe anything you disagree with.
So, I guess we can put you in the bitching column.
Put them in the column of doing the right thing.
My philosophy on this? "What is, is."
Hey, did you watch the World Series last night?
Democrats could go much farther than that. That is in no way have any relationship to what is going on in Texas.
