Revised voting maps released Thursday may have handed Democrats what's become the rarest of rarities for the party in Texas: a significant victory.
On Thursday, a panel of federal judges in San Antonio proposed new redistricting maps for the Texas House and Senate that could potentially give Democrats several more seats in the Republican-dominated Legislature.
Under the new maps, which will remain in effect while a D.C.-based court examines whether the original Republican-drawn plan meets federal voting rights standards, Democrats stand to gain at least a handful of seats in the House, many in ...

The US Dept. Of Justice Promote Voting Fraud
Fellow Texans. We Americans through apathy, ignorance and Constitutional illiteracy, become complicit to our own demise. Obama, the Democrat Socialist Party and the organizations of traitor ( LA RAZA, MALDEF, MECHA, LULAC, THE HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE TEXAS HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE NATIONAL HISPANIC LEARDERSHIP, AND THE PROMOTERS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION), will used any thing to gain political power, that is why we need to stand together and demand the eradication of voting fraud in Texas and every state in the union. Democrats are the promoters of electoral fraud, through voting registration and open voting systems that do not require proper identification of citizenship. Our Constitution and our voting rights laws are violate by the corrupt US Dept. of justice that support this rampant violation of our electoral system. " Voting is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right guaranteed by more constitutional amendments than any other right we have. But the US DEPT. Of Justice play politics and violated our U.S. Constitution."
Fellow Texans if we want changes on this corrupt system of Government we must expose the traitors and demand their removal from office or vote them out of office. If our voices are voided then we must eliminate the corrupt by force. It is our Constitution right to remove a Socialist, Marxist, Dictatorship type of government.

This is not over and the people of Texas knows it is Obama DOJ pulling there tricks on the voter ID law. the people vote this law in and the democrats are trying to steal from the voters. we can make the democrats pay by voting more of them out of office. As to the maps another attempt to steal from the voters. If the shoe was on the other foot we would be called racist and know telling what else. There is two sides of a coin we see the democrats side clearly. The voters will have a chance to show and tell.
