They\u2019re rigging the system to protect themselves, shut out opposing views, and make elections less competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. <\/span>It\u2019s like having two competing sports teams, but the winning team makes up the rules as they go.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s not just bad for one side. It\u2019s bad for anyone\u2014Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise\u2014who believes leaders should earn their seats, not carve them out with a Sharpie. This isn\u2019t about left vs. right. It\u2019s about a system that\u2019s drifting further from the people it\u2019s supposed to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s Going On In Texas Right Now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Late in July 2025, Texas lawmakers proposed a new congressional map. These redrawn district lines would theoretically give Republicans five extra seats in next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the 2024 presidential election, Democrats earned <\/span><b>42.46%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of the statewide vote. But under the newly proposed map, they\u2019d only get <\/span><b>8 out of 38<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> congressional seats. That\u2019s <\/span><b>just 21%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of representation\u2014cutting their share in half. Millions of voters would be affected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s not just unfair. That\u2019s silencing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The proposal was so contentious that Democratic lawmakers fled the state to try to block it. In response, Governor Abbott threatened them with fines and arrests. The standoff made national headlines\u2014but the long-term effects of this map could be even more dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Gerrymandering is Technically Legal, But&#8230;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redrawing electoral boundaries, or redistricting, is a normal process. It occurs every decade around the census to ensure each district has roughly the same number of people and adequate legislative representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While in the process of redistricting, both parties have used gerrymandering tactics. In recent years, Democrats have done it in Illinois and Maryland to secure their power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wisconsin did it in 2011. North Carolina did it in 2016 and again in 2019. In those cases, the redistricting was court-ordered to correct maps that had been unfairly drawn along racial or partisan lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Texas is redrawing the map outside the usual 10-year redistricting cycle tied to the census. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gov. Abbott says the mid-cycle redistricting is needed to address \u201cconstitutional concerns\u201d flagged by the U.S. Department of Justice about the current 2021 maps. In a letter just two days before Abbott called the special session, DOJ officials argued that four Democratic-controlled districts may be unconstitutional due to racial gerrymandering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response, New York and California are considering mid-decade redistrictings of their own. Texas has sent us down a slippery slope that could see both parties engaging in a sort of gerrymandering arms race. Red states could become almost entirely red. Blue states could become almost entirely blue. And our country would become increasingly more divided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Gerrymandering Hurts Everyone\u2014Even The Party Drawing The Lines<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first glance, it might seem like a win for the party in power. But gerrymandering doesn\u2019t just hurt the other side\u2014it weakens democracy for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">everyone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When districts are \u201csafe,\u201d politicians no longer have to appeal to the middle or persuade swing voters. Their only real competition comes from primary challengers in their own party. That means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Bipartisanship becomes a liability. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There would be no benefit to cooperating with the \u201cother side,\u201d since the other side has no voting power. Attempts at reaching across the aisle could only make a candidate vulnerable to more extreme challengers within their party. Thus\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>More extreme candidates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rise to the top, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which is bad for a democracy because they tend to represent only the loudest, most hardline voices in their party\u2014not the broader mix of voters they\u2019re supposed to serve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Voters check out<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. When the voices of the minority feel like their voices don\u2019t matter, they disengage from politics.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the truth is, most Texans aren\u2019t hard left or hard right. They\u2019re practical people who want representation that reflects reality. But gerrymandered maps make it harder and harder for those voices to be heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>How We Fix It Before It Gets Worse<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Texans believe in earning your spot\u2014not stacking the deck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/89R\/publiccomments\/Meetings\/C0552025072611001\/InputItems\/2038e263-4aea-4c61-b488-1e5ec2197efa.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">public hearings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><b>over 98% of Texans who spoke opposed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the proposed maps. These voices came from all corners of the state\u2014<\/span><b>rural and urban, conservative and progressive, Black, white, and Latino<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a national level, nearly 9 in 10 voters <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/566327-american-voters-largely-united-against-partisan-gerrymandering-polling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">oppose gerrymandering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One solution is to use<\/span><b> independent redistricting commissions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014nonpartisan groups that draw fair maps instead of letting politicians do it themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nine states utilize independent redistricting commissions, including Michigan, Colorado, Washington, and Arizona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The federal government has proposed solutions like the <\/span><b>Freedom to Vote Act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and the <\/span><b>For the People Act<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, but state-level action is just as important. Citizens can push for <\/span><b>ballot initiatives <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(citizen-drawn legislation) to create independent redistricting commissions, like voters did in <\/span><b>Michigan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><b>Colorado<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><b>Arizona<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. They can <\/span><b>testify at public hearings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><b>contact their state legislators<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In states without ballot initiative processes\u2014like Texas\u2014citizens can still <\/span><b>build grassroots coalitions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, demand transparency, and organize sustained public campaigns that make gerrymandering politically toxic. Texans can also support local advocacy groups, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagtx.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Texans Against Gerrymandering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairmapstexas.org\/advocacy-updates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fair Maps Texas, <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lwvtx.clubexpress.com\/content.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">League of Women Voters of Texas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lawmakers work for the people, not themselves. And it\u2019s our job to remind them that the power to draw maps belongs to voters, not politicians protecting their own seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This isn\u2019t a partisan issue. It\u2019s not Republican vs. Democrat. It\u2019s <\/span><b>the people vs. a rigged system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If we want a democracy that reflects the will of the people\u2014not just the people in power\u2014we have to fix how the map gets drawn. Texas has a choice: let the system keep getting more extreme and less accountable, or build a process that puts voters first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s end the political games.
