1. Went over my head

6. Census numbers released. +/- in a few states so the legislature get to redraw

I haven’t looked into enough to know if this Wang guy is right. ???

8. +1

2. It does make me wonder, however, if Republican dirty tricks...

...stopped us from making gains that we would have made, even better for us than breaking even.

3. Reminds me of 2010 and Texas gained 4 seats that all became GOP districts

However the gain in population in that Census was primarily due to their growth in the Hispanic population. (not exactly a strong GOP demographic)

4. But many hispanics just don't vote

Texas needs to do what Georgia did and they have been doing it but there needs to be more effort since it's a large state.

5. That was my read also

The Question that I don't think people are asking enough is, What states can be further gerrymandered that haven't been?
Can Ohio manage to lose a Democratic seat? Can Texas add two Republican seats?

The last round packed the Democrats in together about as much as possible. Its going to be a lot harder to do it again.

7. But even if seats don't change, legislatures can redraw districts, no? Nt
