Democrat Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey was requested in regards to the effort to redraw congressional districts in Texas and criticized the transfer, suggesting that efforts by Democrats to do extra gerrymandering in response is justified.
The irony of that is that although a couple of third of the state of Massachusetts voted for Trump, there may be ZERO Republican illustration there.
This reality was apparently misplaced on Healey.

Hot Air reported:
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey now has Republicans quaking of their boots.
In response to the Texas legislature’s transfer to redistrict its state to create extra Republican districts, Healey is making a courageous stand and threatening revenge.
She, too, will redistrict the state in retaliation.
It’s a scary prospect, I do know. In a state recognized for its equity to Republicans, a change in perspective might have critical repercussions.
Presently, the state has 9 Congressional Districts and 9 Democrats representing them. Ought to a much less favorable map be created, the state could have 9 Congressional Districts and 9 Democrats representing them.

What Republicans are doing in Texas is a cowardly, undemocratic energy seize meant to silence voters.

Solidarity with Texas Democrats utilizing each software to combat again.
