Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's Texas redistricting, looking more and more like a dummymander.

Most people know the backstory by now, but here's a real quick recap.

Trump realized his policies were unpopular, and he didn't want to

lose seats in the House, which normally happens to the President's Party during midterms. So rather than

letting voters pick their representatives, he wanted to let the politicians pick their voters,

and pushed Texas to redistrict to get more seats that lean toward Republicans.

That kicked off what turned into a nationwide redistricting battle.

When that was going on, we talked at length about how Republicans might not actually be using the right math and noted how they appeared to be counting on maintaining the support of the Latino community.

Even though all indications were, they were quickly losing it.

As special elections occurred, and Democrats flipped seat after seat, the party became more

confident that Trump had led Republicans down a road of self-defeat.

Now the Texas primaries have occurred in the newly redrawn districts, and, well, out of the five

seats Republicans redrew in their favor.

Democratic primary turnout exceeded Republican turnout, in all of them.

That's another indicator that Republicans might have dummy-mandered.

But it isn't foolproof, because the Democratic Party would have to keep

the energy at that level. Richard Gonzalez, who is the chair of the Hidalgo County Democratic Party,

said, quote, this is just the official rebuke of the Trump administration and the Republican Party.

When you dig down into the data, it looks like two of the redrawn seats are likely to swing Republican.

Two are likely to be held by the Democrats.

And one is kind of a toss-up.
