If
Supreme Court declares the Texas gerrymandering setup unconstitutional the old districting plan will be replaced and the Texas filing deadlines will be reopened.
TX-11 could have a Democratic challenger after all. That would be quite a Cinderella story for the bloggers and activists pushing for 435 congressional candidates, but at the same time it would bring the TX-28 primary showdown extravaganza to an anticlimactic end.
I have three questions:
- With our current field of candidates, would reverting back to the old map (or potentially adjusting to a new map) weaken our prospects by creating coverage gaps?
- If Ciro and Cuellar get their old districts back, is it still possible or even desireable to challenge Cuellar?
- Does anyone know a Democrat who lives where TX-11 used to be?
