Part 3/10:
What makes this redistricting exceptionally impactful is its effect on specific districts. Take Al Green’s Ninth Congressional District—a district that previously favored Democrat Kamala Harris by a crushing 44 percentage points in 2024. The new map redraws this district to favor Trump and Republicans by 20 points, translating to a 64-point swing, marking the largest district transformation in Texas history. This exact redistricting was not accidental but part of a deliberate Republican strategy to eliminate what they perceive as toxic or uncooperative voices in Congress.
