So the new map was released yesterday. No surprise, Austin area still does not get a district of which the voter base is from the Austin area. It breaks Travis County into 5 parts all parts having the bulk of the voter base well away from Austin.
10- From Seton and 35th Street north with the triangle and Domain belong to Houston.
17- North Austin north of Duval goes out to College Station and all of Waco and will be represented by a Republican from that hell hole known as aggieland.
21- West Campus, Downtown and South Austin will be in District 21 which is a San Antonio, Fredericksburg-Kerrville District. For those that don't know that is the one Lamar Smith of San Antonio now holds. Yes so now UT, Downtown Austin, and South Austin will be represented by the jackass who created
SOPA!
I find this very funny because he is currently representing me in Westlake and when the SOPA stuff happened I actually talked to him and told him I was going to do everything in my power to get him out of office. Now he will no longer represent Westlake. lol. I'm have no doubt I had nothing to do with that, but I kind of like telling myself it might.
25- East Austin (North of 7th St), Capitol area DT, UT Campus, Hyde Park and West Lake now belong to Fort Worth. This is Lloyd Dogget's District. This will now become a Republican District that dumps all of the minority votes in Austin and Ft Worth so they can have their nice safe white districts and at the same time get rid of Austin's Demecrat Lloyd Dogget in favor of a Ft Worth Republican African American Michael Williams.
35- East Austin (South of 7th), St. Eds, South Park Meadows area, ABIA / COTA belong to Downtown SA. This is a brand new district that we got from the latest census and the one district in Austin that will likely be a Democrat from San Antonio.
