It would be a nice change if redistricting was taken out of the hands of both parties. Base it on just the numbers, population distribution, period. Each party is so afraid of losing power, not afraid of properly representing the people of a particular region.

It's a game to the career politicians and those whose money buying into the "game" of politics. As long as the money is leading the politicians by the nose, we all lose. It's about holding power and it should be about proper representation, period. Get the money out.

I contend the average Texan across the whole state is not represented, but the monied interests are. All this gerrymandering is for the benefit of those not wanting the average Texan to have a voice in this government. Fine.

Keep voting against your own best interests and when you find yourself as one of millions of cancer-clusters, just remember to die quickly on the republican health care plan.
