statutes on the books in states that make it illegal and that will be an important element of the cycle this way. dave, from a control of congress standpoint could you see control of the house coming down to these handful of seats in texas? very well could. look, the house s margin is razor thin and there are three certainties in life, death, taxes and litigation over texas redistricting. we could even see this revisited later in the 2020s given that there s such sensitivity about the way that districts are drawn with regard to race in texas. this is also a moving target because keep in mind that hispanic voters in texas shifted by double digits from clinton to trump between 2016 and 2020. so a lot of the seats that used to be carved in certain ways to elect hispanic candidates of choice, this he may have to be
