At President Trump’s request, Republicans in Texas and possibly other states are eyeing redistricting plans that could add seats to their U.S. House majority. Democrats are warning they might retaliate, in an escalating battle for House control.
One state doing it isn’t enough, it’s a dog and pony show. The Republicans sure as shit haven’t gerrymandered just one state. And doing it without simultaneously pushing a bill to end gerrymandering (to my knowledge there is no bill before the current Congress) becomes a poison pill, an actual example of how both sides really are the same.
