Counting illegals will give Texas up to three more House seats.
From Legal Insurrection
“Texas was one
of the many states whose legislatures Democrats expected to gain in the 2020 election. Their anticipated ‘blue wave; didn’t happen;
instead, Republicans made significant gains at the state level, granting them a significant advantage in redistricting.
“Texas has almost 2
million such residents out of nearly 30 million — enough extra people to bring
billions in federal largesse over the next decade, and add considerably to its
clout in the U.S. House.
“’Don’t
get me wrong, I support President Trump and I appreciate what he was trying to do,
but this is good for Texas,’ said state Rep. Phil King, a Weatherford
Republican who chaired the redistricting committee the last two years. ‘It
probably means the difference between getting one and three new congressional
seats.’”
