that this gerrymandering will be corrected? I see none.

Yes, Texas has grown leaps and bounds gaining minorities. Texas is the #1 state in the union in this regard and I guarantee you this, Texas will gain white representatives and lose minority representatives. Care to make a wager for charity?

Banking on Marc Elias to fix everything is a terrible strategy? Why, because Elias said so himself. Without federal guide rails, S1, Democrats are guaranteed to lose the House, IMO. Guaranteed, even if they have record turnouts.
