Hugh Hewitt: ‘Texas Has the Perfect Right To Go Back in and Redraw Its Maps’

EXCERPT:

HEWITT: “President Trump wants to point to Massachusetts because he won more than a third of the vote there, and there are zero Republicans in either the Senate or the House from Massachusetts. Illinois is the worst redistricting map, the one that you'll find the strangest districts drawn in, because Illinois Democrats are ruthless, they're cutthroat and they -- they went after as many house's seats as possible. Gerrymandering, Griff, is as old as 1812, it began in 1812. Both parties do it. Texas has got the perfect constitutional right to do it. There are only two rules, one person, one vote. All districts have to have the same population size. And two, you may not use race to draw a district unless it's so ordered by the Voting Rights Act. Texas has the perfect right to go back in and redraw its maps as does every other state that is not given that power, like California did, to an independent commission in their constitution. And so when you look at California, it's a pretty good job of redistricting.”
