Redistricting in Houston was first done by Democrats to get minority votes.
This was done many years ago. The Democrats like to redistrict when it helped them, but they get pissed when their opponents do it. Of course this is also true of the Republicans. Still, since the Democrats started this redistricting mess, I have to laugh now that they complain about it because it doesn’t suit their needs.
To be honest, there is not much difference between local Texas Democrat politicians and local Texas Republican politicians. Not much difference at all. You could almost interchange the two. It is just a big political game to them all.
Suring the last 2 Houston Mayor elections I voted for Mayor White, a Democrat.
