Well, again, it's clear, as I said in my comments, when you look at the way that Republicans. Let me say this, when you look at the map, This map gives white Texans one member of Congress for every 430,000 residents, but it gives Latinos one member of Congress for every 1.4 million Latinos, and it gives black residents one member of Congress for every 2 million black residents.
