I live in TX-33 congressional district (Dallas- Ft Worth) which is very blue amidst a sea of red. My district is the perfect picture of gerrymandering.

(10,252 posts)contain minorities and college students into 1 tightly condensed district. But spread out into rural areas and gerrymander a district to include as many Reps as possible. Texas needs a bi-partisan commission, but that won't happen any time soon. The GOP bible thumpers and Exxon own this state.
