combjelly, "Right. You said judges." So? Are you claiming the judges were Democrats? On the second read, it kind of reads like I was sarcastic, but I was not. I just noted your correction to my statement. For example, your claim that Texas Democrats promoted drawing districts to enhance certain minorities chances is so far from reality as to be ludicrous. You know much more about Texas politics than I do, so I will defer to your understanding. There are a bunch of minority districts elsewhere that received some notoriety, I believe in deep South. The idea behind that being that you need a district that is majority minority (LOL) to ensure that a minority gets elected. Since blacks are only some 10 to 12% of the population, it resulted in some oddly shaped districts to end up with majority minority district. In the end it ended up benefiting Republicans, and Black Congressmen, but it hurd Democrats overall. That assumes that having a black congressman or mayor has no influence of black turnout. If it does have an influence on the turnout, it may end up a wash for Democrats on statewide and national races, or even a gain, but a loss in local and congressional races. Joe
