Texas (Abbott) kept the Democratic Congressional seat empty and Houston citizens without representation since LAST MARCH, almost ONE YEAR, to help protect the slim Republican majority in the House. Then Texas Republicans redistricted it to give Trump an additional Republican seat in November.
Maybe.
