Rs in Texas may have weakened They have. A district that went 60% R gives some precincts to to a 53% D district, and now the donor district is only ~54% R, and the formerly D district becomes ~54% R. This plan assumes no waves of either color in the next election. But if there is a shift in sentiment as we are seeing, the old R district isn't safe anymore, and the D district stays D. The repturds are well aware of this. Expect turnout suppression. Texas D's make their presence known, but even in the cities aren't that well organized. Few precincts have chairs who will whip the turnout. There's not much money at the state or local level. And the DNC won't be much help. And these bastards (and their following) are just as motivated: google.com

Many R. don't like where Trump has gone with their party. R. may vote blue not because they now see things blue, but to rid their party of MAGA's. if so, the redistricting could backfire on them big time. Just a hopeful thought.

I have heard the same thing, and was looking for the energy to post that, almost exactly as you posted it-lol!

I even researched it a bit.

Good, now I don't have to do it lol!

I don't know if this is true or not but I heard yesterday a report that the Rs in Texas may have weakened some of their Republican districts enough to make them competitive. They are depending on the Latinos who voted for Trump to turn out and to vote for Rs again and if what happened on Tuesday holds up, they may turn out but end up voting for Ds instead of Rs because they are so disgusted with the Trump admin and therefore will be flipping some Rs seats to D. Which would of course mean that their clever attempt at gerrymandering will backfire. Of course, the Texas Ds and the DNC must be clever enough and have enough money to take advantage of this, assuming it is true.
