I don't see anything wrong with it. As it stands, the voting ratio for US House of Reps elections is 56/44% in favor of the Republicans (Stats from CNN.com.) The number of Representatives each party sent to the house approximately reflects those percentages. The way I see it, adding 5-10 Republican seats would skew the numbers in such a way that they would not accurately represent the will of the people of Texas, but instead the will of the Republican Party.
