As the Texas congress remark in the article.
The redrawing of lines actually fixed the jerrymandering of before. I live in one of these districts that was split 10 years ago to allow a democrat to represent me. My town was split into three. My section was cut out drawn down a highway into a highly democratic area. If i had a map of it you would see how bad it was. I should not be voting for the same represenative as those who live on the south side of Houston (me being in the North) Now the district has been redrawn and those in my town (highly republican) have one represenative.
