Headline and map The Downballot, 7/31/2025
David Nir and Jeff Singer report:
The plan, which could change prior to passage, seeks to undermine Democrats by diluting the voting strength of Black and Latino voters, potentially in violation of the Voting Rights Act. It makes radical changes to do so, moving more than a third of Texans into new constituencies. Of the state's 38 districts, only one, the Lubbock-area 19th, would remain untouched.
Below, we outline the most important changes to the five districts Republicans are targeting. In each case, we've also included data showing how each current district voted in the 2024 and 2020 presidential elections, as calculated by The Downballot, and how each proposed district would have voted in that same election, according to Dave's Redistricting App and the Redistricting Data Hub (for 2024) and VEST (for 2020).
You gotta hand it to Republicans. They're never hesitant to cheat to win. (Texas gerrymandering edition),. (7/30/2025)
