1. Electoral college should go. Popular vote only so politicians will have to win over the people with policy and work for the people for a change.

2. this is my first youtube comment!!

3. Everyone should look at the maps Texas Democrats drew in the 90’s. The modern GOP gerrymander of the state looks like a commission drew it compared to the Dem one.

4. Another way to end gerrymandering is to have the entire state vote for a certain faction, and then the number of seats won by each are distributed among all the districts (i.e., if it's 55% Republican and 45% Democrat, then 55 seats (hypothetical if Texas had 100) go to the GOP, 45 to Democrats). Then you award each district a "faction" based on how high the margin of victory was (i.e., district with 90-10 Republican gets a Republican, then whoever has the next slightly smaller margin, down until no more GOP seats are left to award). Heck this could even give smaller parties a seat as well like green or libertarian. Basically the "general election" happens before the "primary election".

   It could be tweaked for issues that appear, like if a district had a majority Democrat but it still gets a Republican representative. It's not perfect, but it's a potential solution. Also an issue if a particular representative of a smalle rparty wants to run in the "primary election" (as described above) but they can only compete in a race that's not really home or nearby (not a big deal I suppose..?).

5. Lol Democrats lose seats because of massive migration, but some how leftists policies are popular?

6. One person one vote. Why should it matter what district you are in?

7. Texas democrats worry they don't have enough black voters in their back pocket anymore, so they start up the old canard that redistricting is "racist". Typical, constant, democrat party malarkey. The minute a democrat opens his mouth, his mind searches desperately for the most convenient Lie he can tell.

8. Republicans and more Republicans known for voter suppression get to decide. That's not democracy.

9. Democrat's about to lost their majority in the mid term Election LMAO

10. Democrats worst nightmare. No wonder they are pushing to make DC a state hood LMAO

11. Republicans are Greedy😡

12. Republicans are Hateful and Rich and bad 😤

13. The wild Wild West stealing the power: corporate money funneled to stay in power

14. The only fraud committed in 2020 and 2022 is by republicans and their racist gerrymandering and voter suppression.

15. The new seats should go to the cities where the population grew the largest.

16. Doesn’t TX want to ban critical thinking in schools?

17. Gee, I sure don't hear that
    NAZI ABBOTT going on about imigrants after the census gave my home state extra congressional seats.

18. It’s all a total Republican farce at this point. So infuriating. Y’all need popular vote in the US like pretty much all other self-respecting democracies in the world (except the UK, and maybe a few other Commonwealth countries).
    Americans would have a much better life, it would be a much better place, if you had popular vote deciding elections, not some obtuse, outdated system heavily rigged for one party that actually represents the minority in the country,

19. KEEP TEXAS RED

21. Texas can't even function when it's cold. I love it when idiots get what they voted for.

22. ขอบคุณ

23. The population growth in Texas is black Latinos which is more like a Democrat but the Republicans in Texas will fix it so there's two Republican seats

24. Let me guess …… The lines will be drawn in such a way that the seats will go to Republicans. You want to see voting fraud, look no further than Texas
