Texas: CD35, CD27 found unconstitutional; "intentional racial discrimination"

What I don't get here is that someone, somehow, has a computer good enough to get Texas to work

My laptop is crap but it can run Texas no problem. California, New York, and at times Illinois are worse.

How can you run Texas but not Illinois?

So are they literally just making districts for one term and then new ones AGAIN?

Great news!

I am going to draw a new map to fortify TX-07 and TX-32 while also preserving the GOP districts.

Literally who cares

They will be used for 2018 and 2020.

But aren't people already registering for congressional candidacy for 2018? Sounds kinda illogical.

Two terms, but yeah it's a travesty how long this Court took to work through this case.

Damn, something needs to be done about Michigan. Districts 1-8 and 10-11 are incredibly bleached! And Melvindalers in MI-13 and Dearborners in MI-12 are cracked, since most of the people in those cities are Muslim. And the 13th and 14th districts are just black ghetto packing.

The filing deadline is in December.

In 1996 and 2006 when the final decision came down after the primary, the congressional elections were held as special elections concurrent with the general election in November. In Texas special elections, there are no partisan primaries, all candidates run on the same ballot, and a majority is required. If no candidate receives a majority, there is a runoff in December.

In previous special elections, in partisan districts, the special election was a re-run of the primary.

Seems kinda inconvenient
