Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers from office Monday if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House maps that President Donald Trump wants before the 2026 midterm elections.
Thank you for posting the map. It’s wild how every city in every state (from what I can tell) is always a blue dot surrounded by a sea of red.
And the blue dots have hundreds of times more people than the red swathes of land. Blue vs. red is essentially urban vs. rural.
They’re actually blue dots surrounded by mostly empty land with way way smaller, dispersed red dots.
But maps like this overrepresent the rural areas
