Redistricting compromise eyed as seats shift across Texas
A Texas redistricting plan may trim House seats for West South and East Texas after population shifts. Rep. Tom Uher and Sen. Bob Glasgow propose asking the U.S. Justice Department to permit large districts with slightly uneven populations to cushion sparsely populated areas. Metropolitan regions like Harris and Tarrant counties fear loss of gains while districts stretching hundreds of miles challenge equal population goals. Currently state districts vary by up to 5 percent, while congressional seats allow under 1 percent.
