I thought this was how both major parties ran things nowadays.
Is this just against the law in Texas?

This particular case involves Delay's fundraising for Texas state congress for which different rules apply than national elections. Delay was involved because if the state congress had a Republican majority they could redistrict Texas in favor of Republicans, further securing the Republican hold on the U.S. House.
Remember the Texas state Democrats going awol to prevent this? Turns out they may of had some legitimate gripes.
