      If Texas has flipped blue, this legislation now favors Republicans based on current voter turnout conditions (Trump won the popular vote in 2024)

      But, hopefully the passage of this would encourage higher voter turnout since now your vote matters in more than what, 20 states?

        I do not think it favors Republicans. It simply favors population which means cities which means more liberal.

        Trump winning 2024 was just stupid people mad about inflation, COVID, race, and Biden running gain. Yes they should have been mad about the lack options in the D side. The other issues were all fake. Inflation was solved a year before the election for example.
