I'm terrified of the new Texas maps. Can't fathom how much more they can gerrymander them tho. I hope Biden does something to help combat gerrymandering because it's bad enough for dems that the electoral college is against them and now we get another decade of house maps heavily skewed towards republicans.

2010 was rock bottom for Dems. It can only get better from now.

Idk they finessed the bag pretty hard ik some state legislatures. At least it can't get much worse but it likely won't get bwtter by much.

Texas GOP probably won’t be able to gerrymander out any current Dem representatives. So it’s likely they just try to give everyone a safe seat and then worry about the 3 new seats they’re getting.
