Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said on Sunday that the state would protect Texas Democrats who fled to the Prairie State over GOP efforts to redraw the Lone Star State’s congressional maps.
“They’re here in Illinois. We’re going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them and make sure that — ’cause we know they’re doing the right thing, we know that they’re following the law,” Pritzker told reporters at a press conference Sunday night held alongside the Texas state lawmakers.

Roller Nazi’s might as well become a quadriplegic due to his non-existent spine. Really kissing Trump’s ass and blatantly committing voter suppression by trying to gerrymander mid-decade UNPRECEDENTEDLY. Hopefully someone just pushes him off a cliff or something.

Ellen Barkin:
To the msm, check your verbs…
Why do the Dems “flee” Texas to stop unlawful racial and partisan gerrymandering but the GOP “breaks early for summer recess” to stop transparency in the trump/epstein sex trafficking pedophiles scandal?

Actually, the Texas Republicans did the same thing in 2003. The Democrats fled to Oklahoma and New Mexico that time, but the Republicans were successful anyway. And they'll be successful this time too. The best we can hope for is that Democrat-held legislatures in other states (CA, NY, NJ, IL, etc.) do the same and redraw their districts to counteract the Texas Republicans.

Illinois is already the worst gerrymander in the country. It’s the Mother of All Gerrymanders. Look at those district shapes. How could they squeeze anymore out it?

USA TODAY: When they control redistricting, Democrats have traditionally created “coalition districts” that tend to include a variety of different liberal groups — blacks, Hispanics, progressive whites — sprinkled with independents and Republicans to form Democratic-leaning seats, according to Kimball Brace, president of Virginia-based Election Data Services.
He said Republicans have taken the opposite tack, drawing districts that tend to lump together voters with similar demographic backgrounds.

Ohio was told my the Supreme Court their redistricting was illegal - and they said fuck you and did it anyway.
