The issue in TX is gerrymandering. I believe Trump won by 7% in 2020, yet isn't the R/D makeup in the state house something like 2/1? What about the US House? It's close to that as well. TX leans purplish red (Ted Cruz almost lost in 2018) and yet, judging by the laws being passed here, you'd think we are Oklahoma or MIssissippi.

A majority of people in TX don't support the draconian abortion law on the books, yet due to gerrymandering and "safe" seats, the law cannot be challenged. Unlike many states, TX does not have effective ballot measures that can cancel the law.
