Houston Chronicle on Texas Gerrymandering
When the Texas democrats skipped town (just like the Republicans had done ten years earlier) to avoid having a quorum on Tom De Lay’s out-of-cycle gerrymandering, everyone focused on the town-skipping and nobody paid attention to the issue itself. The result was ultimately large-scale redistricting across Texas in favor of the Republicans. No one seemed to notice in the mainstream media. Finally, the Houston Chronicle seems to have a discusson of it.
