District Court, Splitting 2-1, Finds Texas Congressional Districts Violate VRA

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

There are plenty of large land area districts that have stretches of highway where there is nothing in between and it's unavoidable in many cases. With that said, arguing about this is a moot point, because the VRA districts are going to be mandated by law. End of debate.

Especially in Texas. Everything is big in Texas, y'all. One time I was drivin' through West Texas, and for dozens of miles I saw little other than derricks' and oil wells owned by wild catters strikin' to get a fortune

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

So after reading the court order, it seems they decided:

1. There needs to be 7 HCVAP majority districts in south/west Texas

2.  They don't consider the current TX-23 to be a performing district for hispanics and it needs to be made performing

3.  Nueces county must be put into a HCVAP majority district. 

4.  CD-35 must be removed from Travis county....? To make it more compact?  (Not sure on this, I guess they're saying a second HCVAP district in Bexar county alone?).   TX-21 would be the obvious target to fill in what's left empty in Travis.   

So those changes would pretty much force 2 districts entirely within Bexar, 1 district most likely entirely within Travis, TX-23 be made more hispanic (and dem),  and TX-34 would take in Nueces, resulting in big changes to TX-27.

Did I get this right..?

Plus maybe another minority opportunity district in the DFW area.

If there is another minority opportunity seat, I wonder which North Texas R sacrifices their seat.
