How long Dems have to stay out of Texas to stop 2026 Gerrymandering:

That’s a hell of a lot cheaper than paying for lawsuits

1. A wealthy Blue donor can cover all the fines

And you only need 51 of 62 to break quorum, so they can rotate in and out.

6. Screw the wealthy people,

Start a GoFundMe, I will donate. It will be money well spent on fighters.

2. Redrawing districts usually is done directly after

a ten year census. WTF

[applegrove]

3. Yup. Trump told GOP in Texas now. So he can win the house

in 2026. Why Democrats in Texas have scattered across the country so Texas cannot get a quorum and vote on districts.

7. The census determines how many delegates a state gets,

The state draws the map.

12. This is a partisan stunt to steal the 2026 midterms

[Chasstev365]

4. Let them do it!

And we will do the same in every Blue State we can:
California, Illinois, New York, etc.

5. Texans bowing down to a damnyankee from New York City. What a disgrace. Why I'm still in exile.

9. Republicans claim to loathe Hollywood.

But their most revered icon was a Hollywood actor. Republicanism doesn’t make sense. It’s not supposed to.

8. This is stupid theatrics. We need people to start filing sooner than later

And some of our best candidates are in the state legislature. The redistricting is a dummymander. There is no way they will be able to make those 5 seat gains as easily as they think in a year like the one we are about to have. But if we cant get our candidates filing, it won't matter what the maps look like since no candidates will have e been able to raise the funds they need to win.

10. yeh, right

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. There is an early December filing deadline for the 2026 primaries that take place in March

The Democrats would have to stay out until late November for this tactic to work

[LeftInTX]

13. December 8th at 6 pm!

They would likely need to arrive on the 8th because the Repubs could file bills, hold committees and then force them back if they come on the 7th or earlier.
