Abbott Says Texas Can ‘Eliminate’ 10 Democratic Seats

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) warned that Texas could get rid of as many as 10 Democratic districts if California moves ahead with its plan to redraw its House map and neutralize the expected GOP gains in the Lone Star State, The Hill reports.

Said Abbott: “Listen, all those big blue states, they’ve already gerrymandered… They got nothing left with regard to what they can do.”

He added: “And know this: If California tries to gerrymander, find more districts, listen, Texas has the ability to eliminate 10 Democrats in our state.”
