New Texas congressional map will create five districts Trump carried by double digits

10. Do "everything in its power", as I said.

Yes, we’ve unintentionally handcuffed ourselves on this front. We have our map drawing commissions, and state constitutional amendments, and blue state courts who have shown themselves to be very serious about enforcing those amendments.

The only Democratic states I’ve opined on are NY, CA and Michigan (if we’re considering Michigan a blue state in this particular discussion) so that’s as far as my opinion extends.

Gavin Newsom mentioned they’d have to put the issue back on the ballot to remove some hurdles, do it.

If California’s legislature has to take a shortcut by bypassing their commission entirely and passing a map on their own, I’m all for it even if it arguably violate their state constitution. I’m not above trying it.

If NY Democrats have to enact a map that may be struck down by the state court at a later date, do it.

There likely will be lawsuits. Maps may be struck down. However, it Texas passes their proposed map, the possible setbacks become “tomorrow problems.” We’ll just have to worry about those problems when the day comes.
