    Historically

    Depends on how far back you go. People are trying really hard to erase that Texas used to have a democratic governor, and it wasn’t till Republicans got a whiff of power and started gerrymandering the hell out of things. Look at TX-35 for an idea of how fucked up it is.

    Actually, adding the picture. It goes from part of San Antonio, up to Austin along a thin stretch of I-35. Basically the district is over 80 miles long and covers two completely distinct cities.
