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

12. Exactly

I'm all for trying, but when you look at the four states with the largest electoral counts (California, Texas, Florida, New York) and compare the percentage of votes each party got in the 2024 Presidential election to the percentage of the winning party's House delegation, California is at the top of the list (by a lot) of the House delegation percentage being higher than percentage that went for that party in the 2024 election.

If those percentages are viewed as the level of gerrymandering, California is already at the top, followed by New York, Florida, and Texas. New York and Florida are very close (2 percentage points), so if New York decided to redistrict, and Florida followed suit, it would be close to a wash. California has a little bit of room to gain a few seats, but not sure it would be enough to overcome what Texas is looking at.

Now, if all the blue states decided to do it, it might work.
