Democrats flee from Texas to prevent the map of the re -division of the republican circuits supported by Trump

The legislators in the democratic state from Texas fled in an attempt to stop voting on a new map of Congress that would prefer Republicans strongly.

The re -division of the circles, which were unveiled by Republicans in Texas last week and supported by President Donald Trump, will establish five new seats of the importance of a republic in the US House of Representatives.

Two -thirds of the Legislative Council, which ranges between 150 members present in order to hold a vote. Fifty -one Democratic legislators, most of them, fled to Illinois, and depriving the Republicans of the required legal quorum.

They said they were planning to stay away for two weeks until the end of a special legislative session held by the Republican Governor in Texas Greg Abbott.

The session is held to agree to re -divide the circles, in addition to providing disaster relief in the deadly Texas floods last month and the THC prohibition, the active component of marijuana.

Both legislators can face a fine of $ 500 (380 pounds) per day, and the threat of the Public Prosecutor in Texas Ken Pakston, a Republican, to arrest them.

He said at X that the state should “should be used every tool at our disposal to search for those who think they are above the law.”

“Democrats must be found in the Texas house who are trying to escape like cowards, arrest them, and return them to the Capitol immediately.”

In a statement, the Democrats in Texas defended this step.

“We do not get out of our responsibilities,” said Jin Wu.

“We are going out on a forged system that refuses to listen to the people we represent.”

While Democrats all over the country threatened government tactics, their options may be limited.

In the states where they deal with the process of re -dividing the circles, such as Illinois, New Mexico and Nevada, Democrats have already disturbed the same passion as Republicans.

The latest map of Illinois, for example, Receive a p Because it was classified as unfair politically.

But in other democratic -controlled states, such as New York, California, Colorado and Washington, the re -division of circles by non -partisan independent committees is addressed, rather than the legislative bodies of the state.

Republicans in Texas currently occupy 25 out of 38 seats in Congress in the state of Lun Star.

They hope that the new maps will be able to increase this number to 30 – all in the electoral districts that Trump won last November by at least 10 points.

Before the renewal elections next year, the re -division of circles in Texas can help in setting the slim republican majority in the US House of Representatives, where Trump currently owns 219 seats, while Democrats carry 212 seats.

The new map will include the re -division of the circles of Rio Grande Valley and combine two regions in the capital of Austin, which Democrats currently maintain.

In northern Texas, the map will expand an area in which a member of the Democratic Congress, Jolly Johnson, will be held to include the strongholds of rural republics.

It will also re -draw four seats in the Houston region, including the seats held by the member of the Democratic Congress.

The legislator described it in Texas Todd Hunter, a Republican sponsored by the procedure to redraw the map, a “good plan for Texas”.

This is the third time in the past few years that Democrats have fled to deprive Republicans of the quorum.

The party’s lawmakers set out to Washington, DC in 2021, in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the approval of the new election rules.

Democrats in Texas also left to Oklahoma in 2003 in an attempt to stop dividing the circles that ultimately enable the Republicans to agree.

Countries are usually subject to the division of circles every 10 years, when the voting maps to calculate the population changes.

The latest American census in 2020 was to redraw the boycott lines in the middle of the nodes is unusual.
