of putting Texas back under federal supervision before changing voting laws or maps.
The plan does not create any additional districts where Black or Hispanic voters make up more than 50% of the voting population, even as people of color accounted for more than 9 of 10 new residents in Texas over the past decade. The Texas GOP control both chambers of the Legislature, giving them nearly complete control of the mapmaking process. The state has had to defend their maps in court after every redistricting process since the Voting Rights Act took effect in 1965, but this will be the first since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling said Texas and other states with a history of racial discrimination no longer need to have the Justice Department scrutinize the maps before they are approved.
Can a lawsuit be filed against this?
Breaking: AP simps for democrats
CHANGE BAD
Most Latinos are starting to vote Republican. Always making ppl victims 🤦🏽♂️
Democracy, y’all!
They can’t win if they don’t cheat.
Texas is sad.
Get rid of these stupid maps and electoral college. Who ever wins the majority vote gets the job! Why are we doing these stupid maps and college as this continues to divide our country and mistrust of voters. Majority wins!
waltshaub When Democrats stop gerry mandering then Republicans will stop gerry mandering.
Vote out every republican at every level.
Of course, they redrew the maps. Hello 👋🏻 it’s the only way they can stay in Power
waltshaub FuckYouTexas
waltshaub Of course they did.
If they could redraw the maps to eliminate minorities from voting altogether they would. That's what the new voting laws are meant to accomplish.
waltshaub
waltshaub There really is nothing more to say. Can this be challenged somehow?
I think this is when screaming STOP THE STEAL would be appropriate.
waltshaub Of course they do!
Courts will have to settle this.
waltshaub Of course
texas why are you so racist
Latinos should vote for Dems in Texas. How about BetoORourke for Governor and Castro4Congress for Senator?
Those of you who are shocked that the Texas state legislature would gerrymander to limit representation of non-white people please raise your hands.
Letting the majority to draw the voters lines is just rigging elections. Maybe we should give the crazy right the war they so desperately want. They are the minority and we would win. Then we can fix this shit fest system.
I believe MacFarlaneNews said lawsuits would be filed as soon as GregAbbott_TX signs it.
Republicans is desperate to destroy the voting rights. But face it Republicans is going lose Texas because Texas is expecting to be blue state soon!!! Don’t understand why people can’t see Republicans are trying to cheating..
Wonder if anybody from the the D party thought about going down there and telling Latinos they're being robbed of representation by Rs

Gerrymandering again... if the only ways they can win is voter suppression and gerrymandering, they are unworthy to be elected and to hold power.
Ignoring Latinos and Natives at their peril
And Democrats do the same thing. Equal hypocrisy on both sides. Report it both ways.
Repuboicans have a national strategy to gerrymander voting maps in their favor. This started more than a decade ago and will continue until legistlation enacts a national ban on gerrymandering.
Texans you know what we are against and you know what we need to do. Anyone you know that's not registered, get them registered. Women of Texas we need to come together as ONE no matter your political party. NO ONE OR MAN SHOULD TELL US WHAT WE CAN AND CAN NOT DO WITH OUR BODY
If you can’t beat ‘em, cheat ‘em
Should not shock anyone.
Proving once again how much they hate America and Democracy. UnAmericanTexas
Did you guys not see the map Illinois Democrats put out?
Republicans can’t win without rearranging things in their favor.
The only way they know how to win office is to cheat the people.
I have a feeling that this will eventually backfire in spectacular fashion.
Texans voted for these Republicans so they can deal with all the repercussions.
Which founding father or philosopher gives the most compelling, nonpartisan defense of the franchise as a sacred right? We need to go back to basics with the people who play these short-sighted games.
rolandsmartin Evil…. Pure evil
This will invite many lawsuits. All of these radical Texas laws will just be undone eventually especially if Beto O'Rourke becomes governor. Also demographics are rapidly changing.
I notice the congressional map the Democrats drew in the Chicago area hasn’t managed to capture your interest.
Election has consequences. And BOTH parties do this redrawing of maps to cement their hold. BOTH parties are CORRUPT.
It’s called gerrymandering

Always remember: Republicans don't believe in equal representation or fair elections. Republicans only believe in POWER. They don't give a damn about their voters' needs, they can depend on their loyalty to hold the boot to their own throats and call it 'liberty.'
This should be offensive to anyone who is : Hispanic Black Native American Asian White Other ......everyone
There's a lot more wrong with Texas, Democracy will prevail.
The federal government must step in.
You probably mean those communities where there has been an uncontrolled influx of people crossing our borders? Right?
They cheat, they win.
Republicans wrote tons of hate laws, now to make sure these horrible laws say, they are suppressing more votes. This should be illegal
They squeezed the districts of color and that is WRONG
This is what we should be worrying about. Democrats need to start getting things done. Democracy is being taken right in front of us and we can't even pass a bill that everybody wants.
Texas. Aim to win by cheating!!
Just like they did in 1965, eh RepKinzinger ?
So it’s only bad and evil if the GOP does it? Why aren’t you reporting about Illinois that got rid of two GOP seat even know they only lost one seat? Nice biased reporting BidenBorderCrisis afganistandisaster BidenInflation EmptyShelvesJoe BidenIsAFailure
'Minorities' don't vote base on being a minority, that makes no sense to minorities. People vote based on issues, Hispanics want safer streets just like whites just like reasonable blacks do. Many Hispanics, in fact, are more conservative than most whites are.
