Texas Republican Legislators are scared

The reason Texas must pass its undemocratic and unconstitutional gerrymandering maps isn't just because they are authoritarian dictator assholes. It is also because if Texas flips to blue, the Republicans have zero path to the presidency. Their only hope is gerrymandering.

After the horrible laws Texas has enacted under Abbot, without voter approval, and the "Townhalls" that have shown the Republicans are losing favor among their supporters, they are starting to feel desperate. The only way they can win is by cheating through the maps. Otherwise, they know they will lose the entire state.

Their desperate acts have shown they know the voters are unhappy and could quite possibly make them irrelevant on the national scene. If they weren't, we wouldn't be seeing such extremely unlawful and unconstitutional behaviors against the elected democrats of the state.

They are scared of the voters.

Remember that at voting time and turn Texas blue.

Texas Congressional gerrymandering, as horrible and undemocratic as it is, is barely a speed bump on the road to the presidency.

What does matter is how Gov. Greg Abbott restricting Harris County to one ballot drop off location, the same as with counties that have 1/100th the population that Harris County has. And other voter supression "laws."
