Authorities say more than 20 girls are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, where the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours during torrential rains that triggered flash flooding in parts of the state yesterday.
At least 27 people, including nine children, have died in the flooding, according to local officials. The families of three campers have confirmed their deaths to CNN.
It’s more like gerrymandering. Eh, if they dont want to do anything about it, then they get what they deserve. There’s a reason it’s the One-Star State.
Also, Texas population is 32~ million to New York 20~ million.

Gerrymandering doesn’t factor into presidential elections, because presidential elections don’t use districts. Gerrymandering only affects local and state elections. It’s how all of the crazy house reps have rock solid seats, for instance. But on the presidential scale, it’s voter suppression and swing voters, combined with presidential candidates focusing their time in expected swing states to reach that magic 270 electoral college votes.
“Texas has 38 electoral votes: One for each of the 36 congressional districts and 2 at large for our two U.S. senators. It is worth noting electoral college controversy has come into play before. The election of 1876, electing President Rutherford B. Hayes, was one of the most contentious. Hays lost the popular vote, but he defeated Samuel Tilden by one electoral vote.”

I suggest you read the article you actually posted, because it supports what I said. Whoever wins the state gets all 38 electoral votes. It’s not like a 51/49 split has the votes split. Whoever gets 51% wins all of the electoral college votes. The congressional districts are gerrymandered to hell, but that’s because they determine house reps. Just like I said.
