The consultant maps violate federal and state law by splitting precincts into two or more congressional districts. And guess who was targeted? And believe me, as the CD 6 National Delegate I take it fucking personally. My precinct, the second largest of 77 precincts in all of Irving, a city of 260,000 people, was split 3 ways! Yup it is that fucking bad. And where did they put ME? In CD 12! You cannot make this up. Just my neighborhood. Everyone else in the precinct is in 24 or 26. But I am in 12, with Parker County. They took the 54 Irving Precincts in CD 6 and split them into 4: CD 33, 12, 24 and 25. Then they took the 4 blue very blue like 98% blue precincts in Johnson County and cut them out of CD 6 and put them in CD 25. They chopped up all the blue that we have build in CD 6 to make sure it wouldn’t get bluer. So yeah, given how vocal I have been, how I called out Jake Ellzey in person for his lies and selling out his constituents, for all the grass roots that Kelly Blackburn and I have done to turn out the vote. How we got Beto and Colin to come to the district, how we defeated Tim Dunn in the municipal run off. Yeah I take this really fucking personally. And believe me, whatever happens in Austin, I am driving down there and am going use my lawyer skills to make sure it is on the fucking record that what they are doing violates federal law by silencing the voices of this minority majority city. They say Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned? You better fucking believe it. Sorry, not cleaning up my language. It is time for Democrats to fucking show some teeth and fight.
