Yes, this assault by Texas is a dagger to the heart of American democracy.
Anyone with an ounce of tech savvy realizes that state-of-the-art computer mapping can produce the most egregiously ugly, unrepresentative (and unconstitutional) congressional district maps. A supercomputer can likely optimize any state's CD map to create the most heavily lopsided majority for any incumbent political party determined to usurp all representation in that state.
In the face of this reality, the U.S. must attack the partisan methods of reassigning district map boundaries with all the force of its democratic fervor and recommit to the true ideals of a republican form of government.
