Battle Ground Dallas-- Texas And Its People Are So Much Better Than Their Politicians
Redistricting takes place at the beginning of every decade, after the census. But in 2002 Republicans won control of the Texas legislature for the first time in 130 years.

After the 2004 election, the Republicans he'd 21 seats and the Democrats 11. One of DeLay's tactic... more »
