Some swing district Republicans object to Texas redistricting plan as Democrats threaten to retaliate
WASHINGTON — Some Republicans representing competitive districts in blue states are speaking out against their party’s push to redraw congressional lines in Texas in an attempt give the GOP up to five more House seats.Reps. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., and Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., have called to impose nationwide limits on partisan gerrymandering, a rare move for Republicans in Washington who have thwarted proposed bans for years.
Democratic governors like California’s Gavin Newsom and New York’s Kathy Hochul have threatened to retaliate against Texas by pursuing their own redistricting plans that could knock out GOP-held swing districts, like those Lawler and Kiley represent.
Looks like the brainless buffoons in Tex-ass just started a trend that will end the repukes control of DC. Guess what happens after that?
The Blue Wave is coming! EXPECT IT.

Two GOP lawmakers say they'll offer bills to curtail gerrymandering. They could be in the line of fire if Democrats in states like California and New York respond in kind to the Texas push.
