Not sure how accurate these maps are I posted. The ones I found after 2000 are from a site using Princeton’s maps. So I found another site with a little different results. But I those seemed better. Just not 100% sure.

What the heck is wrong with Alaska?

I was there a few years ago and one of the tourist guides proudly announced that "over 40% of Alaskan residents work for either the federal or local government".

You'd think there would be a proud streak of independence there but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do there.

Yep, but even ol’ Pete Gallegos is facing a legal challenge on his re-election. Jose Canseco contends that there was voter fraud and is challenging Pete Gallegos’ re-election (he squeaked his re-election bid).

Either you don't live in Texas or you only heard one side's campaign commercials.

"Jose" Canseco is actually Francisco Canseco who also goes by the nickname "Quico" (Kee-ko). And, they were neck and neck until some "last minute votes" materialized in El Paso that put Gallego ahead by 9,000 votes.

These are valid reasons that the Canseco campaign is claiming fraud.

I know this election was stolen, but I will never be able to offer up any evidence. Pollster pulling out of FL, NC, VA , Oct 9

IT'S OVER AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTNAND THAT WE ARE GOING OVER THE CLIFF. Any headline I see about what to do for 2016, I ignore, and toss in the garbage. ZERO laid down the gauntlet an hour ago - “I am all for compromise with the GOP as long as it is on Democrat terms”. Boner and McDonnell will fold like a cheap suit.

What the heck is wrong with Alaska?

Alaska has a socialist state constitution. It receives more federal $$$ per capita than any other state. Public sector unions are very strong. The native population is addicted to welfare thanks to ted stevens. Their senators are a liberal pubbie appointed by her father when he was governor and a “moderate” demoncrat who votes with the libs all the time.

The fantasy that the majority of Alaskans are self-sufficient free spirits is a big exaggeration.

Not Texas, not really. What you are looking at is the nearly 100% Hispanic sparsely populated Rio Grande Valley and one Congressional district each in Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. The vast amount of the population is not in those areas.

The State legislature still has a super majority of Republicans and every state wide office is held by a Republican.

My bad on Canseco’s first name. Honest mistake.

And yes, Canseco has a valid complaint against Gallego considering all that I have heard from friends who live in his district (scumball is about the most polite term I have herad to decribe Gallego).

My friends in that district were very hopeful about this election and they were confident that Gallego would lose. I hope that Canseco his victorious in his challenge.

There is only one Indian Reservation in Texas and that is the Alabama-Coushatta in the Big Thicket area of east Texas.

Our “nice” native Indians were the Apache. The other two non-migratory tribes were cannibals the Mexicans killed off early on.

Tigua Reservation

The Tigua people live on a 26-acre reservation in El Paso County. The reservation is home to a 900-seat high-stakes bingo parlor, and visiting the gaming facility is the only way for non-Tigua to visit the reservation. The Tigua honor their patron saint, St. Anthony, by attending the annual St. Anthony Festival in El Paso. There they perform traditional dances, and members of the tribe interact with visitors.

Kickapoo Reservation

The Kickapoo live on a reservation southeast of Eagle Pass where they have built a casino (kickapooluckyeaglecasino.com). Tourists are strongly discouraged from entering the reservation unescorted, but are welcome at the casino. Although the casino has an Eagle Pass address it is technically on Kickapoo national land, and visiting for gaming is the only approved way for non-Natives to enter the reservation.

They finally applied for US citizenship and were federally recognized as the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas in 1983.

They only need enough space to harvest gamblers these day, not deer and buffalo.
