The map is altered slightly from the proposal Republicans first rolled out earlier this month. Hunter summarized the changes by saying that six out of nine Republican-leaning districts that were tweaked improve the party’s odds, and the other three remain “strongly Republican.”

      Because Gavin Newsom in California is going to neutralize them by adding 5 more. They snuck a 6th in though.

        They should have stayed away until the session expired and have Newsom add more anyway. This is a war and the sooner they realize it the better.

          No one can win with you guys, ffs. They did more than most, let’s thank them for staying away with a warrant out for their arrest. Most politicians wouldn’t do what they did.

          Also, Texas has an AG and Governor that are so fucking corrupt, that I could fill this community with just posts about them being corrupt. There are going to be paybacks for these dems.

            They accomplished nothing! Republicans are still going to get 5 new seats, exactly like before the Democrats did this.

          I fucking knew it. Democrats acted like they won. All they did was nothing and now it’s worse. And we fucking told everyone this was going happen.

          Edit:Oh and watch Newsome won’t do shit. He claim he taking the high road while Republicans move closer to their fascist utopia.

            At least it is getting some press. It has been happening much more quietly in other typically red states to remove any last democratic strongholds.
