Texas is the most crucial electoral state for Republicans to keep red with its forty electoral votes, and the left is absolutely losing it over a proposed bill in the state legislature that would make it harder for Democrats to win statewide offices.
Leftist media hack Brian Tyler Cohen tweeted in grave concern that “Texas Republicans are proposing a new law to make it virtually impossible for Democrats to ever win an election in the state,” with a link to the left-leaning Texas Tribune’s article clutching its pearls over the move.
Outstanding. Red states can either disenfranchise urban voters or become blue states. It’s as simple as that.

Their freakout stems from the recent Texas GOP convention, where delegates voted on their new GOP platform. The new 50-page platform included a plank that would require statewide candidates to win the popular vote in a majority of Texas counties to secure their win. This would mean that deep blue Houston, Dallas, and Austin would no longer have a stranglehold on the rest of Texas. (ROOKE: I Don’t Want To See This In Middle America’s Costcos)
Democrats love nothing more than to claim everything they do is for the purpose of “saving Democracy” with a capital D. They should be applauding Texas’ efforts to ensure the rest of their state isn’t dominated by the loud minority hell-bent on transitioning their kids and turning every small town into the hub of progressive policies. Instead, they see the writing on the wall. Their hopes of flipping Texas blue will evaporate overnight if the state legislature has the stomach to do what’s needed.
But have no fear, Democrats. As GOP voters are all too aware, the party doesn’t care about its constituents. Something of this magnitude is unlikely to make it across the finish line, especially if House Speaker Dade Phelan has anything to say about it.
