I was thinking the same thing!
Which of Texas's new Congressional districts (or any of the new gerrymandered districts across the country), are made up of significant numbers of voters who swung GOP in 2024, but are likely to swing back Dem in 2026, and will they make any of these districts actually toss-ups?

Is there anyone doing accurate data analysis of the newly drawn Texas Congressional maps, and whether these new Republicans or those that swung to the G.O.P. in 2024 in those districts (i.e. Latinos) might increasingly vote Dem in 2026?

Of course not, but this shows that the right film can outsmart the algorithm.

It's extortion, plain and simple.

What's your take now that SCOTUS is waiting for Texas's response? Is there any reason why Texas can't wait out the clock and say, it's too late, sorry, we get to go forward...

For all the hype, here is some initial analysis: As much as I would love to see a flip, this is all looking like a nothing-burger, hyped up by press and pundits looking for eyeballs...

Early voting data shows familiar patterns as TN-7 special election enters final week
Early voting in TN-7 has passed 54,000 ballots. Turnout patterns resemble 2024 more than a toss-up, with GOP-leaning counties driving much of the vote.
