If you look at Texas under the current map, there are 38 congressional seats in Texas. About 56% of Texans vote Republican right now in the last election, 20, 24. And about 65% of the congressional seats are Republicans. So a little bit more than the percentage of the state. But 56 to 65 is pretty close. You know where California is right now, where 83% of the congressional seats in California are Democrat. (23:15–23:19)
