“In Texas, Republicans won just one of the five targeted seats and lost ground overall in the delegation...”
Maybe Gov. Abbott will call the legislature into special session and do some mid-decade-post-election-pre-inauguration redistricting.

In 1982 Indiana Republicans have drawn the lines too aggressively, in similar fashion.
Since Democrats protested, it even went to Supreme court Davis v. Bandemer, 478 U.S. 109 (1986), which left the lines as drawn.
Due to small vote shift, this backfired so badly, that for a while, Indiana was represented by 1 ONE! Republican congressman and about 10 Democrats. It took many years for IN Republicans to recover from this self made disaster!
Trump pressed IN Republicans to redo this, but few brave state senators voted against and save IN Republicans. Unfortunately they all paid the price and were defeated in primaries.
This redistricting was a blatant try to mess up the election.
It left bad taste even in my mouth, and like the 1982 redistricting, it backfired badly!
