    California resident here. I got sent some packet home telling me to vote against this. I should take a picture and research which mf is passing this out under the guise of “protecting democracy”.

      Yeah, I’m aware of several mailers going out to try and protect the ability of Texas Republicans to gerrymander lasting Republican control of the House

      The flyer I got says it was paid for by “Protect Voters First, sponsored by Hold Politicians Accountable” and that the top funder was Republican Charles T. Munger, Jr. He’s the son of Warren Buffett’s (late) billionaire right-hand man, and he was one of the top donors for the 2008 prop 11 which created the California citizens’ redistricting commission for the state legislative districts. He was also the principal behind 2010 prop 20 which made the commission also be in charge of California’s federal congressional districts.

      So he’s understandably mad that Gavin Newsom is trying to override everything to mess with Texas.
