Today, the Texas State Senate voted to pass a gerrymandered congressional map. This map is now one step closer to Governor Abbott’s desk and to a gerrymandered congressional delegation out of Texas.
When our team analyzes proposed maps, they look at how the map would play out in an election. This chart we sent around this morning shows how this map is a partisan gerrymander.
In 2020, the Republican party only won 54% of the statewide vote share in congressional elections. Yet if that election used the map that was just passed today, Republicans would have won nearly 64% of the congressional seats. This is how gerrymandering impacts elections.

The fight is not over -- this proposed congressional map is headed to the Texas State House next. As map manipulators double down on their 2011 gerrymandering, we’re doubling down on our commitment to grassroots advocacy.
Will you help us reach our goal of raising $10,000 to support AOTL’s fight against gerrymandering before the Texas State Legislature gavels back into session next week?
