Texas Civil War: Republicans try to steal Midterm House votes via gerrymandering,Dems flee state to stall. UPD: Dems say FK your racist MAPS

[Wargames]

New York and California will follow suit and republicans will not be able to match seeing as Texas is their biggest stronghold. They played their big joker too early

They usually get away with it. Abbott is notorious for no one checking him cause he stays in Texas and isn’t above having his proxies crying unfair because he is in a wheel chair.

Edit: if the democrats actually do this it would be a combo breaker of how many times Abbott gets away with it unscathed.

I wouldn't doubt it. I read a book about Lincoln and legislators jumped out of windows (mostly one story buildings back then) to prevent a quorum.

Wait. so all them dems came back?!!?

When this is all said and done we need to haul all these republicans into court for treason, something Trump can't pardon. They know they are going to lose the house. No level of Gerrymandering is going to save them in the long run.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

This isn't the first time this has happened. It seems to happen ever so often that the state government will come to loggerheads over an issue and one of the parties will flee the state to deny the other a quorum. I feel like this has happened at least a couple of times before.

Them proposing it was a Hail Mary based on Trump/WH basically saying to do it. It probably wouldn’t hold up on court but the Supreme Court would drag their feet just long enough to put their people in during 2026-2028.

The whole party is complicit in this shyt
