Texas Gerrymandering SHOCKER: Did Republicans Steal 5 Seats?
Tap title to read story
Texas Republicans passed new congressional maps designed to increase their party's power in the U.S. House. The maps, supported by Gov. Abbott and President Trump, will likely give Republicans five more seats. Democrats, accusing Republicans of gerrymandering and harming minority representation, plan to challenge the maps in court. The Senate vote followed Democratic attempts to delay passage, including a planned filibuster that was thwarted. This action has prompted a similar response from California Democrats, who are proposing their own redistricting plan.
