How can a party that has control of the State House and Senate be dead?

The GOP holds the Senate. More importantly, it owns the Lt. Governor who has the power to decide what, if anything, the Senate will even consider.

But the Texas legislative seats are all Democrat gerrymandered seats, too. It took a miracle to wrest control of the Senate with the current configuration.

Every statewide office holder in the State is Republican. Every single one. That is PROOF that the district lines are drawn to favor electing Democrats.

The court rubberstamped decades of Democrat gerrymandering again this morning. This does not in any way represent Texas voters.

Republicans are packed into dense districts and Democrats are spread into winnable majority in all the others except the minority-protected districts.

That's why this is so unfair to the GOP and to Texans as a whole.
