(Reuters) -Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Friday signed into law a bill to redraw the state’s congressional maps at the behest of President Donald Trump in an effort to flip five U.S. House seats held by Democrats to Republicans.
The ratification came after the state’s legislature passed the measure last week amid a nationwide redistricting battle.
“Texas is now more red in the United States Congress,” Abbott said in a video post on social media, after signing the bill with a marker.
Republicans have acknowledged they believe winning more congressional seats in Texas will help the party maintain its slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in next year’s midterm elections. More states controlled by Republicans are considering similar action. more

And right on schedule, Dems have already filed lawsuits to block this new map. I believe someone much smarter than me once said, “a house divided cannot stand”, and we are more divided that at any point in our history. Therefore, my solution to the problem is…Thunderdome!
Civil war will be a quick thing, democrats hate guns.
I’ve always felt voting districts should follow county lines.
Now we’ll have a bunch of democrats changing parties and pretending to be sane just to get into office; then they’ll go full on RINO.
