Senator Borris L. Miles Sounds the Alarm: Texas Republicans Attempt to Rig the Future with "Rig-Districting"
ARLINGTON, TEXAS, JUL 22 – Republicans aim to redraw Texas' 38 congressional districts mid-decade to gain seats, while Democrats warn it will suppress minority voters, with GOP holding 25 of 38 seats since 2021.
- State Senator Borris L. Miles vocally opposes the Republican-led redistricting effort in Texas, calling it 'Rig-Districting' in 2025.
- This redistricting follows the 2020 census and replicates a GOP strategy to redraw districts mid-decade, targeting Black and Brown communities to weaken their political power.
- The Texas legislature convened a special session to redraw 38 congressional districts, with public hearings scheduled, and bipartisan committees appointed to oversee the process.
- Senator Miles declared, 'They may have rigged the game, but I refuse to make it easy for them,' pledging, 'We will not be erased' or surrender to fear amid this fight.
- This contentious process may lead to lawsuits and influence the 2026 elections, signaling ongoing struggles over representation and voting rights in Texas.
