The Soviet Republic of Texas

The editors of the Washington Post don’t agree with the Republican redistricting of Texas.

Whodathunkit?

For redistricting—quite the inverse of elections—is a process in which politicians get to choose their voters. It is a process that a healthy democracy would seek to reform.

 

I haven’t heard any cries for reform coming from the left in the 130+ years when Texas had a Democratic majority doing the exact same thing today’s Republicans are doing.
