Although the re-districting attempt by the Republican ran legislator and governor a few years ago was such a big news story it really wasn't an original political scheme. The Democrats held the majority in Texas government since after the Reconstuction, until the last part on the 20th century. I don't doubt that they implemented their own sneaky underhanded plans to keep that majority for so long. they were just better able to keep it from making such an uproar. Neither parties have really done much to improve Texas, the government has been limping along almost since its formation, partially due to the unjustifiable shackles that the TX consitution place on it. The constitution we operate under today has been ammended hundereds of times since we adopted it in 1876, this is proof of how incompetent it is.
