and second, Add a judicial nominating commission please. The Texas Judicary is full of far right federalist society partisan hacks. I dont think Justices should get elected due to money and spending and having a judicial nominating commission to block out partisan far right judges would be very effective for an independent judiciary.
I am honestly very torn in regards to the independent redistricting. As much as i want that. I wont feel comfortable knowing that Republicans have gerrymandered a lot of southern states. I dont want really to go the route of "when they go low, we go high" Until the house and senate is able to introduce a bill on partisan gerrymandering or pass Proportional representation for congressional districts, i was hoping to lock down Texas. I am a big supporter of independent redistricting commissions and better yet Proportional representation as if you used proportional representation to draw house districts. Its almost impossible to pack and gerrymander the minority party and population out of power. You will be forced to have representation for the minority party under proportional representation.
Great list. Also, FYI, in Denton County the polls for early voting for the May 2 election were CLOSED on April 21st BECAUSE it was a state holiday, San Jacinto Day.
