As Texas Democrats return to the state legislature under 24-hour surveillance, Republicans are poised to advance their redistricting maps. State Rep. John Bucy, who has not yet returned to the state Capitol, joins βNewsNation Nowβ to share his next steps and to praise a colleague who is now refusing to leave the House floor in protest of the surveillance measures.
I live in Texas fren. I don't know the specific map that your looking at, but the old map has districts that look like snakes or are non-contiguous. The new map fixes that. The old map was created by the dems.
Okay, I learned something new here. The precinct maps that they are showing are only for national elections. The precinct maps that piss me off are for local/state wide elections and they are gerrymandered to turn Texas purple/blue locally.
Really hope Abbott follows through with removing them from office.
Me too Boonie
works for me :)

Someone explain this, like I am five years old please.
The 'proposed' map (e.g., @ 3:29) looks like it has more blue areas on it? Am I missing something? The table shows more Republican districts.
I am confusion

I was looking at the map in the OP's vid - gave the timestamp, and all.
Can you shed any light on it? Have they got the maps the wrong way around?
