Texas Republicans Set to Resume Push for Redrawn US House Maps

6. This is not about ideology.

The Texas GOP is totally corrupt. The job only pays about $600 per moth when not in session and they only meet every other year.
I believe that the real impetus is they are afraid of a Democratic victory would possibly lead to an investigation of their whole v corrupt operation. When they appeached Paxton Tim Dunn just threatened them with a primary and they state senate folded. Now ask yourself would you put up with threats and abuse for a $4 an hour job?. The real tell is the last vote of the senate before the end of the regular session was to not audit the $ 11 billion dollars Abbott spent on "immigration" stunts like paying hundreds of highway patrol to do nothing on the border hiring charter planes, and $2000 bus tickets. I live next to the fence and this part of the border has been very secure for many years. This is the safest place I have lived in my whole adult life. Even the Texas Department of Transportation has become a bad joke. They don't even pretend anymore. The contractors just put up barricades, but often do very little for months on end. The oil revenue is tiny for the state budget ( about 3 percent of what they get from the federal goernmment) but they can tell them what to do. The crypto business is also here and the dollars are enormous. Also huge data centers using up huge amounts of electricty and getting paid if the have to be interrupted. The corruption is endless.
