The Art of the Texas Gerrymander: U.S. House District 19


With the 19th CD, all of the counties are square-shaped, perfect building blocks for fair maps.  (Texas GOP reaction.)
 
Not Squared Off
 
Against a weak opponent, Jodey Arlington (R-Lubbock) won 4th term to Congress with 81.4% of the vote.



The Texas Tribune, 10/15//2021
The maps have drawn the ire of Democrats, civil rights groups and Texans from across the state who criticized Republicans for not adequately reflecting the major role people of color played in fueling the state’s population gains. Of the nearly 4 million people added to the population count, 95% were people of color. Nearly 2 million were Hispanic.
