US House Redistricting: Texas

[CatoMinor]

Considering the make up of next years legislature, a likely speaker who isn't afraid to Gerrymander, and a douchebag governor,  Doggett probably won't get such a nice looking district as the one in your map shows.

As much as I would love to see Harris county districts look that nice, that map would probably see lawsuits with the VRA. Central Harris county should have a majority black district, a two Hispanic majority districts, one on each side.

I think this map is a more realistic version of Houston.

Districts 18 and 29 are black and Hispanic, the rest are all fairly strong McCain districts.

Sam, I demand you fix you map and move me back into Texas-08 (East Montgomery County)

and Put Galveston back in Paul's district

Doggett found a proposed Republican map.

I much prefer the 8th district in this map. It keeps my house and the university I attend in the same district. (At least It appears to, the line looks like it goes through the middle of Walker county)
