There’s a huge number of blue voters here who are effectively powerless due to extreme gerrymandering. Texas’ government is the most corrupt, racist, and misogynistic I’ve ever seen it. It’s infuriating.

Dems actually outnumber Republicans in TX from what I read, but due to gerrymandering, they remain the minority party.

Yes. I will say I’m not sure where they’re getting their numbers, since Texans don’t note their party affiliation when they register, but I do believe it’s correct to say we have more blue voters than red.

Gerrymandering is the biggest barrier we have in Texas politics. I live in central Houston (a blue city), but my gerrymandered district includes people who live almost a 2 hour drive away from me and in suburban and almost rural areas, so my district goes red every damn time. It’s beyond infuriating

I fully believe the entire country should be required to have independent election commissions. The dems tried to pass it nationally, but Rs blocked it. When Dems regain the majority, they have to require this federally, or they're not protecting democracy IMO.

I will go crazy but instead of districts use the population numbers…

I couldn’t agree more.

I believe exit polls.

Great point, and I do too. It’s important the rest of the nation knows the corrupt Republican Party in Texas is holding most Texans hostage with gerrymandering.
