You Republicians in Texas understand gerrymandering.
considering it is all flat land.

Unfair. If you are going to use the graphics from Wiki, then you should use the entire article.

BTW, that is a democratic district that the GOP created. It was designed to make a white dem incumbent, who was safe in his Austin centered district, have to compete with a hispanic challenger from the heavily hispanic and democratic Rio Grande valley

"The last gerrymandering occurred in the south (I think it was Georgia) where black congressional districts were created along the lines of Race by the Democrats. They were later determined to be un-constitutional."

And yet you post the Texas map to demonstrate that 'You Republicians in Texas understand gerrymandering.'

I have no idea what your point is or why you're so hungup on this seat not being gerrymandered. It's not as if there are ANY state parties, Rat or Pubbie, that don't have their full attention on setting up favorable districts after each census. It's not like it demeans the district, it's just standard politics these days, unfortunately.
