Proposed Texas map a blow to GOP - Alex Isenstadt - POLITICO.com


Proposed Texas map a blow to GOP - Alex Isenstadt - POLITICO.com: "A federal court-proposed map positions Democrats to gain as many as three congressional seats in Texas, dealing a sharp blow to Republicans who had hoped the state would help solidify their new majority.

Under the plan, Democrats could capture three of the four new seats Texas is gaining in the current round of reapportionment, and would be positioned to compete against one of the state’s freshman Republicans, Rep. Quico Canseco, whose southwestern Texas district would become considerably less GOP-friendly."
