That means that right now in Texas, 54% of the Republicans elect 63% of the congressional delegation. So it's slightly more than the statewide percentage, but not nearly as egregious as the other states. Now, what Texas is redrawing the districts so that five new Republicans are likely to be elected. So instead of breaking down 2414, it is likely to break down 29 to 9. That means that we would go from 63% of the congressional delegation being Republican, we would go from that to 76%.
