There is a problem with your thesis though. Voters are not registered to a party in Texas. Texas is an open primary state which means anyone can freely choose and vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary. So Republicans can absolutely be voting in Democrat primaries or vice versa to ensure that certain candidates do not make it to the general election. Being an open primary state, when Texans vote in a party primary, their party choice is recorded in their voter file. So they may not be registered with a party, but the state counts will include them as either a democrat or republican depending on how they voted. The data that .org websites that is provided is really all fabricated. Like these Total Registered Voters: 17,485,702 Democrats: 8,133,683 (46.52%) Republicans: 6,601,189 (37.75%) Unaffiliated: 2,750,830 (15.73%) But the states election results are no where near any of those numbers above. instagram.com/reels/DNJn4K-J…

@RyanWiggins4 @TheRickWilson Not sure if you did your research, but there’s a quite a bit more registered democrats in Texas than there are republicans. If all Democrats would get out to vote, Texas would turn blue by a landslide.

This you, boo?

If this is the game that that is going to be played going forward, Democrats may not like the result. 18 States with Democratic legislatures have 138 Democrats and 31 Republicans in the US House. 28 States with Republican legislatures have 55 Democrats and 158 Republicans in the US House. 4 states with mixed legislatures (MI, MN, NE, PA) have 17 Democrats and 24 Republicans in the US House. Note that technically Nebraska has a mixed legislature, but sends 0 Democrats and 3 Republicans to the House, so I'm not sure if Nebraska really counts as mixed. If only the Republicans gerrymandered, Republicans could gain 55 seats. If only the Democrats gerrymandered, Republicans would lose 31 seats. If we went to maximum gerrymandering (assuming no red state would send a blue representative to Washington and vice versa), Republicans would gain 24 seats over the Democrats. In democrat held states, democrats hold 81.7% of the seats. And in republican held states, republicans hold 74.2% of the seats.

@RyanWiggins4 @ChristianHeiens Can't agree more Any dem that complained about TX but didn't about NY is a hypocrite

No. I support gerrymandering when my side does it, and I oppose it when Democrats do it because Democrats are my enemy and I want them to lose everywhere. The Democratic Party masquerades as a legitimate political party while functioning as an illegitimate tool for foreigners, criminals, and their managerial handlers to sack and pillage this country at the expense of the American people. The appropriate number of Democratic seats at all levels of government is zero. The party itself should be banned, and at least half of its elected officials should be in prison.

While your numbers are compelling. My statement still stands. If a Democrat bitched about Texas, but said nothing about New York redistricting to eliminate 2 Republican seats in 2024 you are a hypocrite. I don't like the practice of Gerrymandering by any state. It disenfranchises voters. New York Gerrymandered their state in 2024 that ended up flipping 2 republican seats. When Texas decides to do it mid decade Oh My God its the end of democracy as we know it. I don't like Gerry Mandering at all by any state. But here is an interesting number. Of all the states that have single party control of their congressional seats. The concentration is held in either sparsely populated states or strongly partisan coastal states. The number of reps is even at 24 between single party controlled states. If you think 9% representation in a near evenly politically populated state is totally fair, then don't bitch when Republicans do it.

@RyanWiggins4 @ChristianHeiens What do you make of this?

ANYONE ELSE EXHAUSTED FROM WAITING FOR DEMOCRATS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING?

@TheRickWilson Just wait.... You all will regret this.

It didn't have to be this way. Y'all got cute in Texas at Trump's orders. It's blowing up in your faces.

🚨BREAKING: Florida has a chance to REDISTRICT their state ONE WEEK after Virginia PASSED an INSANE gerrymandering move. Every Republican state needs to redistrict to make this FAIR as Democrats RIG elections. Follow: @BoLoudon

@teachermom19681 @greendragonhq @CjMfdt So have Blue States.

@greendragonhq @CjMfdt Republicans have gerrymandered….a lot!

May I present to you Jim Jordan’s district? Are Republicans really so ignorant to think they don’t partake in these absurd maps?

@GovPressOffice You people are hypocrites and have been doing this for decades.

CALIFORNIA 🤝 VIRGINIA PROTECTING DEMOCRACY

MFer caught this soyboy's sucker punch in midair and tossed it....Absolutely legendary

Now that Virginia passed a 10-1 Democratic map, maybe it's finally time for Texas to pass a 38-0 Republican map. 📸@Mean_Repubican Follow: @Carlos__Turcios

@LeaderJohnThune ALL of you could shut down their games RIGHT NOW. NUKE the filibuster and get the people’s agenda passed. @SenTomCotton @SenJohnBarrasso @SenatorLankford @LindseyGrahamSC You work for us. Pass the SAVE America Act or resign.

John Thune won’t nuke the filibuster to pass the Save America Act because he wants to be nice to Democrats. Chuck Grassley won’t get rid of blue slips to advance our judicial nominees because he wants to be nice to Democrats. 21 Indiana state senators voted against redistricting and deprived us of two additional House seats because they want to be nice to Democrats. 19 House Republicans are co-sponsoring mass amnesty legislation and going against the will of 77+ million voters because they want to be nice to Democrats. 10 House Republicans voted to extend TPS for 350,000 Haitians because they want to be nice to Democrats. House Republicans won’t censure Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, or expel Epstein’s Democrat friend Stacey Plaskett because they want to be nice to Democrats. The last thing on Democrats’ minds is being nice to Republicans. When will Republicans learn?

Tonight, I see no off-ramp to an eventual Civil War in America. You’re going to use a 51% victory to redraw districts 10-1? This is the type of hilariously corrupt shit that leaves people no choice.

@jonfavs Sure if this shit gets addressed.

I assume every Republican who’s bitching and moaning about Virginia tonight fully supports legislation to eliminate all gerrymandering nationwide, right? Look forward to the next president signing that into law!

@dissident79 @LGMicahBeckwith Uh no Republicans did not start it.

@LGMicahBeckwith Didn’t hear you or any other Republican tonight mention Texas. You started this.

Virginia just voted to redraw their maps ahead of the upcoming midterms to favor Democrats 10-1. Last December in Indiana, 21 Senate Republicans joined with Democrats to openly reject President Trump and vote against redistricting. Conservative Hoosiers should be livid tonight. I know I am.

@SenLouiseLucas No we didn’t start it…. Ya’ll started it. There are a lot of supermajority Red states with vulnerable blue districts. Ya’ll are gonna deeply regret this.

@cartierfamilyZ New York is cooked from a lost revenue standpoint. They are losing like a million dollars every minute of wealth due to migration I think I saw.

what state is more cooked Virginia or New York ?

@AdamKinzinger Screw you!

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse. You just got outplayed
