Nothing was going to please everybody. If they weight the two Latino districts with a lot of Hispanics, it might take enough away elsewhere to steal another district.

That was the dirty little secret of the racially gerrymandered minority districts the libs pushed for in the 1980s - it diluted the strength of liberals in non-minority districts so the GOP took many seats that weren’t expected.

That’s fine if they leave the districts in the valley but they will run it from Seguin (south central texas) to Laredo that is what pisses me off.

Then to have another from South Austin to Victoria really....???
