The legislative and congressional district maps used for the 2012 elections — drawn for one-time use by a panel of federal judges hearing the state’s redistricting litigation — are on their way to ratification by Texas lawmakers. Here’s an interactive look at what the districts are like, demographically and politically. The Texas Weekly Index shows how a district voted in the last two statewide elections. Lawmakers made some small changes in the House plan which could still be subject to judicial review; those aren't reflected in this map.

To call this a "debate" is naive. How about "In your face, Sucka!!!" Travis county looks like something drawn by 5 malevolent and blindfolded pre-schoolers. Doggett's district looks like a 100 mile TXDOT map of I-35 right-of-way. Gosh, can this be the rampant voter fraud Republicans are fighting to prevent? Please don't bring up Dem or LBJ voter abuses yet again, both were crooked. Can this State get over Hatfields & McCoys stupidity by forming a non-partisan redistricting committee? Naw... In Texas, Stupid is the new Sensible.
