At least they are offering some justification beyond the “let’s use our power to make a mid-census redistricting” that was used in Texas.

Because the congressional delegation was ing tied, and that's pretty ing ridiculous for Texas.

The people of Texas in their districts liked it that way. If they didn't, they would vote them out.

The people of Texas in their new districts like it this way. If they didn't, they would vote them out.

Again, the only reason we changed it mid-decade is because the courts redrew the original plan.

If a court had drawn the districts, or it had recently been gerrymandered by the other party, it'd only be sensible.

Of course, I wouldn't be upbeat about it, but I wouldn't whine either.
