Texas boggles my mind because it's such a blue state with some of the deepest red politicians running the place.
G-G-G-G-Gerrymandering!
Nice
Congressional districts should have a perimiter-area ratio limit, and the largest district should not be allowed to contain 10% more people than the smallest district.
I like that and it would probably work better than suing over a gerrymandered map only for the courts to uphold the crazy district, exactly what happened with the Texas 2nd Congressional District map.
Honestly with our current level of technology, a more direct democracy approach like a popular vote representation based on stance alignment would probably work better. For example, Average Joe would optionally select a party and then vote on policies, and the representatives would have selected their policies to align with constituents. Policies and candidates on ballot would be chosen through a regular primary, so each party might have separate policies on the ballot. Independents could select a mix of each and get automatically assigned a politician.
I bet the GOP wouldn't even oppose it because they love forcing people to commit to a party.
A whole lot of empty land seems to have really important votes, since theirs seems to count for more than mine.
They passed a law that every ceo gets an axtra vote for every ear of corn grown on Texas soil
The way americans look at texas is the way the world looks at amerikkka
