They had worked on this for months, maybe years, because you need to know where your voters are.

You need to have the demographic data.

You need to have the experts weigh in.

You can't do that in three or four weeks.

This was a project over the long term, and they used the Texas redistricting as an excuse to do it.

It is their effort to get rid of what remains of the Republican delegation.

You're right, it's going to about 10 percent, actually less than 10 percent of the total vote.

Republicans, again, around 40 percent of voters, but less than 10 percent of the seats.

And it's a travesty, really, because you can understand that in smaller states where you might only have one or two members of Congress, you might see Republicans shut out if Democrats win both seats.

You kind of understand that with one, two, three seats.

But with 52 seats, to have Republicans completely shut out, it's really abominable.

And it takes our country further in the direction of division and conflict, frankly.

I mean, not—

thankfully violent conflict, but it is getting to the point where we are splitting into two Americas.

And the crazy thing about it is the courts might not be able to do anything about it.

There are going to be court challenges to this on a variety of different grounds, but the Supreme Court may not be able to intervene in states determining their own method of districting or redistricting.

And Kevin Kiley, a Republican who's likely to lose his seat in California, one of the smarter Republicans out there, he's got a bill in Congress that would prevent mid-decade redistricting.

And Gavin Newsom just laughed at him and said, oh, well, you're just passing that bill because you want to save your own seat.

Well, that's probably true, but it would also make the system more fair.

It would be a good government system.
