> Texans don't read, or worse, choose not to believe those news articles. There's "blue Texas," i.e., the big cities, generally voting Democratic but outvoted in the state legislature (thanks in part to aggressive gerrymandering) and in statewide races (governor, lt. gov., etc.) by "red Texas," the more-sparsely-populated regions that consistently vote Republican (and, increasingly, MAGA).
