When an election is decided before a single ballot is cast, no matter which party you belong to, we all lose. We are no longer America. But a rigged map still has to make its way to the governor's desk. The governor of Texas can veto it. That makes this office the last line standing between one party and permanent control of Congress. And it makes this race the most important in America. Texas needs a governor who will veto rigged maps, whether they are rigged for Republicans or rigged for Democrats. (12:50–13:10)
