1. Major difference, Texans didn't have a say at the ballot box

Friday

Californias voted for their redistricting / gerrymandering.

Greg Abbott didn’t provide us with the same curtesy. Republicans decided on all our decisions. Texans aren’t allowed to vote for our representatives. Abbott and Tim O’Hare of Tarrant County make the calls on how Texans votes.
