Marc Elias said that this isn't like the old days when Republicans sat down and drew maps. Magats are using AI to make it impossible for Democrats to win.

One thing they are doing is taking 2 Democratic Reps and putting them into one district.

Democrats have used the strategy to throw money at the election, GOTV, and if we lose it's the voters fault for not showing up. Then they do an autopsy and come back with the same strategy.

I think I heard there are 1 million more registered Democrats in Texas, but I could be wrong about that?
