ALBANY, N.Y. (WRGB) — A redistricting showdown in Texas is now spilling into New York State and other states, with a group of Texas Democrats fleeing to Albany in an effort to block what they call a dangerous and partisan power grab.

More than 50 Texas Democratic lawmakers walked out of the legislative session in Austin this week, effectively denying a quorum needed to pass a controversial mid-decade congressional redistricting plan.

Most people ignore the fact that districts have to be gerrymandered by DEMOCRATS to get the black/hispanic representation that they have.

Hey, they are entitled to power. They are entitled to redistrict their states to capture the House. They are because they are just in charge and that is how it it is.

You fight back?!?!

You are a threat to democracy. Their democracy.

On another note, hey Kathy don’t mess with Texas. Just shut up and worry about your own mess of a State.

At war?

Will she be taking the first shot? How many deaths is she predicting? Will she and her minions invade Texas?

If so, I’ll give her my address in case she wants to do battle with me.

Hochul is perhaps the dumbest NYS governor in history, so she has that going for her.

“This is war. We are at war,” Hochul added during a press conference alongside the visiting lawmakers.

Unreal.

The governor of a one state is weighing in on the congressional election I regard to house seats

Alls fair in love and war is obviously her tenet

Meanwhile her particular state is the most gerrymandered by the democrats of just about any state

So the governor of NY thinks she's in charge of how Texas set up its districts?

I guess those jokes about "how NY views America" are true.

I hope that the New York Republicans have a press conference to discuss gerrymandering, and furnish a map that shows how the Democrats have gerrymandered the State already in their favor, and maybe we need a new plan to equalize the Republicans.

I don’t get it. How is this in any way, her business. Hasn’t she mis-managed her own state enough already? Why does she need to weigh in on how the state business, in a far more successfully run state, is conducted? Governor, show us your NY state congressional districts, so we Texans can see how gerrymandering should be done!

Abbott should just send more illegals to New York and Illinois.

The local news media is extremely biased and pimping the Texas Democrats hard.

They are intentionally delaying legislation that determines federal
congressional districts- seems like the Feds could jump in here and arrest them in Illinois or New York
Strange they wouldn’t have gone to Mexico from Texas.
