Laboratories of democracy watch – Digby's Hullabaloo

The next time you hear some wingnut say that their gerrymandering and vote suppression tactics have nothing to do with race, remind yourself of this:

Texas House passed extreme gerrymandered GOP state House map at 3:30 am last night. Democracy quite literally dying in dark

Whites 40% population but control 59% districts

Hispanics 39% of population but control 20% districts

Blacks 12% of population but control 2.7% districts

It doesn’t get anymore stark than that.
