gerrymandering

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asks courts to declare seats vacant for Democratic lawmakers who fled to deny quorum.

The Texas House voted to issue civil arrest warrants for over 50 Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to stall GOP-backed redistricting.

Texas Republicans have proposed a mid-decade redistricting plan to flip five Democratic seats, aiming to boost their congressional delegation to 30 of 38 seats, a move that aligns with President Trump’s 56% vote share in Texas in 2024. Democrats, predictably, are crying foul.
