The 1991 Texas Congressional redistricting map was an abomination. It was identified by the Almanac of American Politics and other nonpartisan redistricting watchdog groups as providing Texas the worst, most unfair gerrymandering in the United States.

The three federal-judge panel that drew the 2001 redistricting lines mainly kept the 1991 lines in place, adding two congressional districts. The "new" 2001 Texas Congressional redistricting map is STILL the worst, most unfair gerrymandering in the US.

The US Constitution provides for the state legislatures, not federal judges, to redistrict the state’s congressional districts

These are facts you will not read in the dominate press.

These are the reasons Perry keeps calling Special Sessions on redistricting and the reasons all knowledgeable Republicans are insisting that the Texas legislature fulfill its constitutional duty and redistrict congressional districts.

All of the Texas Democrat Senators have forfeited their right to represent the people of Texas by abdicating their duty to the people.
