The Republican-controlled Texas house on Wednesday approved a redrawn congressional map requested by Donald Trump and fiercely opposed by Democrats, who led a weeks-long protest to stall the effort that kicked off a coast-to-coast redistricting arms race between red and blue states.
With the house’s approval, the measure next goes to the state senate, where it is expected to pass, possibly as soon as Thursday. It would then be sent to the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, for his promised signature before taking effect.
i never understood the reasoning of the democrats flight from texas to stop the vote for the districting.
“to stop the vote passing this session” oh how long did that stop them? “oh the next session started the second they got quorum” so… it stalled them for the time they flead…? “well no because the mechanism that uses the maps to determine the seats did not change…” oh so it fucking did nothing. democrats being performative again, and not the slightest bit useful.
