#Texas #GOP #Politics
Sources: Anti-American fabricator of false information, accelerates the diarrheal flow of BS.
Because of population growth in Texas the state gets two more congressional districts. The thing is 95% of that population growth were people of color with the majority being latinos.
The new district maps now gives white voters 60% of the districts, Latino districts were reduced even though the Latino population in Texas is equal to whites & the only black district in the state was eliminated.
It reminds me of how the GOP claim Voter Fraud in the Previous Election…No Evidence, No Facts to back up that Claim… Just a Big Lie, but if repeated over and over, someone is likely to believe it… It is the same Misguided information…. Where is the Evidence that Numbers in a Specific area are Dropping? Lies to Curb the Voting Spectrum….
If Biden can get away with his son being on film doing illegal stuff I’m sure Texas can redistrict legally
God Bless The Republic of Texas
I am 100% Hispanic, grew up in a border city in the lowest income area, got my i.d at 18 for 25 bucks and have been using the same I.d to vote 🗳 for the past 11 years now. Haven’t had any issues whatsoever. They just want to let all the illegals in and take the credit for everything they give them and expect a vote from them. Notice how immigrants from communist countries are completely ignored by democrats? They literally tell them not to come and if they do they’ll be turned back. But God forbid they treat Mexicans like that. Lmao pandering pandering pandering
I'm so grateful and blessed cos all my Bills had been cleared and I can live happy now. Thanks to Els pro web.
They want to take advantage of Latinos
Why not call it what it is, its vote rigging.
Sounds kinda stupid your targeting a racism false wow, disgrace to our nation. And white a white women says it to HA
Oh and now American voters are now identified by their race ….
LOL…. The media… oh sorry , fake News and infatuation with Texas and Trump
Both parties gerrymander. The Dimtards just always screw it up. That’s why Texas stays conservative. It’s traditionally conservative regardless of the party in power. Race isn’t the deciding factor, common sense and conservative values are what Texans are all about.
Our politicians are trash. Both sides.
Con artist republicans doing this all over the country.
Funny how it’s always crickets when demonrats do the same stuff
Why is this legal in any State or by any one political party? To publicly say we’re going to fix the voting maps so most likely we WIN. Sounds like a criminal organization “we’re gonna fix it” so it’s right.
isnt there a word for this? oh yeah. gerrymandering.
Republicans can only win by cheating.
It's not going to be helpful. Republicans don't know how to help the community. They are mostly racists and traitors. It's very sad. I feel bad for the republicans who support the community because they have been betrayed by their own party. Voting should be easy for all not restricted. It's against the Constitution to restrict rights.
