Does it matter who votes in Texas, when the Republicans have gerrymandered the state so badly they will win by hook or crook?

1. They redrew the voting districts twice within 10 years which is illegal.
2. They have passed more voting restrictions to disenfranchise the minority voters.
3. They move voting places from the usual voting places.
4. They cut the number of voting places.
5. In places people volunteer to register new voters, but mess up the registration on purpose so the ballot is thrown out. I read about this happening.
6. Some Texas have to travel more than 100 miles to get an ID to votes. There are places in West Texas that don't have access to getting photographs tha I know about. I lived there.
7. Then we have an aging population of Republicans that think Republicans will save their money. That is all they care about.

Change comes slow. Maybe too slow, this time.

    Gerrymandering is by no means the exclusive penchant of repugnicans.  You should see the district map of my state--formerly OWNED by democrats.
