“It’s Fine So Long As You Do It Legally,” Says Texas GOP on Stealing Elections
Gerrymandering has never been more legal
The GOP in Texas has made their stance clear: “We’re not against stealing elections, we just ask that people do it the legal way.”
The legal way being gerrymandering, where the Texas GOP has redrawn the U.S. House redistricting map to provide the Republicans with 5 additional House seats.
“We’re the party of law and order, so our voter base expects things to be done a certain way. We hold ourselves to a certain standard,” said one Texas representative.
Another representative added, “We’re not the Democrats; you’re not going to find Dominion machines and whatnot. Instead we’ll use a coordinated and manipulative tactic to circumvent the system, but in a legal way.”
The additional 5 House seats could be massively consequential, as they could determine which party holds the majority in the House after the 2026 midterm elections.
If this redistricting seems “evil” or fills you with “dread,” rest assured, it is legal and therefore ethical, per Texas Governor Greg Abbott:
“If it’s legal, it is ethical. That’s just common sense in Texas.
Putting someone to death? Ethical by way of our death penalty laws.
Criminalizing homelessness? Ethical by way of our various laws against encampments and panhandling.
Redrawing the state districts to gain an advantage in the House? Ethical… unless Gavin Newsome tries it, then… come find me for another quote, I’ll work on something.”
