We all know this is being done to attempt to achieve a political gain. It may/may not work. Strengthening one area dilutes another. We’ll see… On a side note, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to relook at numbers for representation in a less than decade increment. Texas population has exploded from new residents. I believe Harris & Travis counties are getting about 150,000/year according to some numbers I saw last week. It may have been more. Ten years is a long time with that type growth.

It’s all about numbers. Stop trying to flaunt that woke UT education. Always questions someone’s ability in order to feel superior……instead of ever answering the question.

We’re talking redistricting, not courts. You are so eat up with partisanship you can’t recognize common sense when you hear it. I’m talking equity, not party. Races should be competitive in every district. Who wins should be up to the candidate, not determined by arbitrary lines drawn to rig the game. Democrats undid it when they had the power. It was wrong then too.

I thought we were talking about redistricting. Back to debate school, Dog. Maybe a civics refresher, too. You’d think the floods would take precedence over gerrymandering, but hey, Trump don’t care about floods down here. He’s more concerned with Congressional seats up there.

Man was I in love with her when I was about age 11 (and beyond)... I think she was responsible for a lot of missing socks.

It's Vidor... a lot of kids get an extra year. Lmao! Relax Vidorians, I'm just kidding!!!

We agree......lol

They all get on their moral high horse when things don't go their way. I remember when Trump got his 3 Supreme Court justices, Democrats were going to pack the Supreme Court if they got enough of the majority......... Just wait tho......Thomas is 77 and Alito is 75....... If they both retire, Democrats would flip out....lol

Look, another Democratic talking point to portray Trump as a King.....lol Trump may support this, but I have heard no quotes from anyone but the media opinions saying it was forced.....

But where were you the 4 years Biden admin could of pushed for the release of these documents? You didn't care because you didn't think Trump would win.....

LOL ok

I've hired people and ended up having to let them go for poor work performance. The bow down narrative is just a new Democratic talking point......before you were conditioned to say it, how many times in your life have you said it......my guess would be zero I will say, Democrats and the media are good at repeating messages......

I do not have the correct details. Only hearsay.

Held back when? How large is this "group"?

I hate the word fair. In order to be “fair”, you have to screw the crap out of someone else. Since you are on the side of fairness, how “fair” is it to flood states with illegals in order to increase electoral votes? Illegals shouldn’t count in the census. I don’t recall republicans leaving in order to block legislation. That’s all dems do, block bills then scream bipartisanship.

Being held back or "reclasifying" to gain an extra year of eligibility for sports. Common practice for some areas

I might be wrong, but I believe he thinks the parents held these kids back in junior high... I think that is what he means. *There is a group of sophomores at Vidor that when they are seniors will be one of the best football teams in the area... if they all stick with football.

After each census, districts have to be reapportioned based on new census data. In Texas, according to 2020 data, districts need to be around 766,000 in population to equally apportionment 38 seats. Ten years is the traditional length between redrawing maps to coincide with the census. In 1995 or so Tom Delay led the charge that made Texas the first state to restrict between census dates. Now, Abbot is bowing to Trump to redo Texas. It is a horribly political process that doesn’t have to be. Several states use independent commissions to ensure districts are competitive, Arizona among them. I like fairness and equity. It would be nice to have districts drawn in a manner that actually made members compete for seats in the general election rather than be assured of victory after the primary.

If he averages 180 yards per game, then he will get 1800 in the regular season. If he averages 150, then he will get 1800 in 12 games. I see PAM playing at least 12 games this season.

How does this "group" get an extra year of football?

LCM if I had to guess.

Again, you are incorrect and correct. Those young men will have played the same amount of football as anyone else and yes; they will be extremely good... if everyone continues to play football.

Good luck to the coverage area teams!

Do not know the situation other than that group will have an extra year of football. And will be a good group coming up.
