so basically the Texas folks fucked themselves by calling it a racial gerrymander, which is illegal but partisan gerrymandering is somehow legal, so if California can successfully argue it wasn’t about race the map might stand

iirc the Texas people claimed they were “trying to make more Hispanic districts”

Honestly, idc if California’s gets revoked now that Texas’ was. It was always about responding in the first place.

The current definition of illegal gerrymandering is if it is explicitly race-based. That’s what fucked texas’s attempt. If California avoids describing it as racial in any way they might be able to proceed with it.
