The Houston city limits are carefully structured to keep liberals in the majority. About 2 million people live in the city limits, but the metropolitan area is 2.5 times bigger. The greater urban area is decidedly conservative and has the voting record to prove it.

There aren't any Democrat elected judges in the city, because they're chosen on a broader level, for example.

Houston does have large liberal neighborhoods. Sheila Jackson-Lee represents the inner city, and she'll never be defeated as long as she wants to hold the office. But if she ran on the County level she'd get her ample ass handed to her on a platter.

Oh, I understand all too well. Calfiornia has a similar situation.

But as far as voting goes, I question all elections. Anyone can vote and the fraud is rampant.
