Gerrymandering is manipulating electoral boundaries to benefit a specific political party; resulting in oddly shaped political districts, especially congressional districts. This ungodly partisan political practice gives one political party advantage over the other based upon race and socio-economic compositions. Redistricting is scheduled to occur every decade (10 years). Governor Gregg Abbott called a Special Session based upon a special request from President Donald J. Trump. The Texas dispute is a bold and brazen highlighting of the evils of socio-racial-economic gerrymandering.
The concept of gerrymandering was coined over (200) years ago, and in the 21st century it is still alive and doing well. Remember the telephone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger from President Trump: “I just need 11,780 votes”. In order to secure a second term in office, President Trump required a victory in the State of Georgia. Now, in 2026 to not be impeached for a third time, President Trump needs to have the GOP retain control of both The House of Representatives as well as the Sen- ate. Hence, after a telephone call from President Trump up jumped Governor Gregg Abbott with a special legislative session to save President Donald J. Trump from a third potential embarrassing impeachment. Congressman AL Green has already writ- ten articles of impeachment.
Sadly, instead of Governor Abbott addressing the horrific and disastrous Kerrville flood crisis, he’s carrying water for President Donald J. Trump. What an ungodly shame. This is why most Americans refer to politics as a “pile of s—t”. Manipulating congressional voting boundaries is about as undemocratic as a state can get. Hence, gerrymandering is simply voter suppression by another name, but the results are the same.
The Texas redistricting case underscores issues of socio-economic and racial gerrymandering. Some states have established Special Commissions made up of a bipartisan panel to draw congressional district boundaries in an effort to address concerns about political bias. In the South and the Midwest redistricting is controlled by Republicans. Hence, this is why the South (Dixiecrats), and the Mid-West are primarily Republican controlled states. Gerrymandering simply means any congressional district lines drawn for partisan political advantage. Gerrymandering is counterproductive to a multi-cultural democratic society, because gerrymandering has a negative impact upon the basic principle of democratic accountability. Moreover, gerrymandering has a significant effect on election outcome, because you have politicians choosing their voters rather
