Beat the Texas Jigsaw Massacre
October 14: updated to remove TX-15, where Bobby Pulido (D) is pulling far ahead.
Nearly two out of five congressional districts nationwide have been redrawn for this November’s election, aimed at gaming the outcome. New maps in eight states have moved one out of three of voters in those states into new districts.
You can help thwart this goal. Gerrymanders are drawn to create safe wins, but if mapmakers cut it too close, the plan can backfire. That’s called a dummymander.
tl;dr: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
The team at Vote Maximizer uses hard data to identify potentially dummymandered districts in Texas. No fewer than five Republican-drawn districts are vulnerable.
The voter power rating in these districts is 70 or higher, out of a possible 100. This rating quantifies how much swinging a few votes will affect the win probability.
✅ TX-32: Dan Barrios
✅ TX-15: Bobby Pulido
✅ TX-23: Katy Padilla Stout
✅ TX-35: Johnny Garcia
In all four districts, their Republican opponents were outraising them as of Q2, so they are in need.
Finally, Third Mountain Action is spreading Vote Maximizer’s data-driven approach far and wide. Give to us - recurring is better. Help us empower voters in 2026, and rebuild democracy and science in 2027 and beyond!
