The Democrats of Texas return home, Trump Rails on the vote sent by post in the last American maneuvers halfway through

Democratic legislators who fled their condition to thwart the Republican plans to redraw political cards at the request of President Donald Trump announced on Monday that they “returned to Texas according to our conditions”, while the battle lines harden 15 months before the United States.

In the decentralized electoral system of the United States, the states mainly determine the districts of the federal congress, although the courts can sometimes act as an abuse control.

The result of the climbing of national war on redistribution could determine the control of the House of Representatives, where the Republicans have a close majority of 219-212. After the Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced last month that the legislation plan, the Democratic Members of the Texas Chamber left the state in early August to refuse Abbott’s party, the quorum was to vote on the legislation.

Without Republicans on their side, Texas Democrats cannot stop the legislative process. The redesigned map could give the Republicans five additional seats in the house in Washington, DC

Nevertheless, the more than 50 Democrats in Texas who fled the State – most of them in Illinois – said in an article on their account on X that “the fight continues”.

“After joining the Americans to join this existential battle for democracy, we return to Texas according to our conditions – ready to build the legal file necessary to overcome these unconstitutional cards before the courts,” said the group.

Dozens of Democratic legislators in Texas have fled the state. For the National, Peter Armstrong de CBC explains why they left and what could happen next.

Several states are considering redistribution

Trump wants to help maintain thin control of the Republicans on the mid-term congress of next year, because a surveys indicate that the White House policies so far are generally unpopular with the electorate. Reports have emerged that other states led by Republicans can also consider a redistribution process.

Several surveys suggest that the redistribution thrust itself is unpopular. In addition, pro-democracy activists and working groups organized demonstrations in 44 states and Washington, DC, on Saturday, the Texas coalition for All Adorm in Reuters, to protest the plans of the Trump administration and the Texas Republicans to restart the Congress card.

While redistribution must occur every 10 years to integrate data from the American census, the restart cards in the middle of the decade have been historically rare.

Some democratic governors swear to fight back. California Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled a redistribution plan in his state on Thursday which, according to him, would give Democrats five other seats in the congress, and Governor Kathy Hochul plotted a similar response to New York, saying that Democrats must “fight fire”.

The practice of Gerrymandering – drawing the district lines in favor of one part rather than another – contributed to a drop in the number of competitive house seats. Only about three dozen districts out of 435 are considered competitive by non -partisan analysts in August.

“Unconstitutional to face” order: democratic group

Meanwhile, Trump said on Monday that he would sign a decree before the mid-term elections next year, saying that he would lead “a movement” targeting the ballots by mail and the voting machines across the country.

Trump, a Republican, previously signed an executive decree of March 25 targeting the elections that were blocked by the courts. States organize elections separately in each of the 50 American states, although Trump in his social post of truth has characterized states as “simply a federal government agent to count and tabulate votes”.

Democracy Docket, who is aligned with the Democratic Party, said in a statement that any decree in accordance with the post of Trump would be “unconstitutional opposite”.

“The idea that states are only agents of the federal government in any sphere, not to mention the vote, takes place completely contrary to the federalist system that the founding fathers have created in general, and takes place specifically on the opposite of the 10th amendment,” said the group.

Trump – who, on other questions, including abortion, promoted the idea of “state rights” – also wrongly declared that the United States was “now the only country in the world which uses postal voting” because other countries “abandoned it because of the fraud of massive voters encountered”.

The president proposed a certain number of inaccurate and deceptive declarations on voting by mail, a process which he benefited from himself. Republican voters also voted enthusiastically by mail before the 2020 elections, and there are reports that Trump was advised by Republican officials to temper his comments by mail in last year’s elections to improve his chances of winning.

Trump began to make unsuccessful allegations of Mail Fraud by the 2020 elections, when he became clear that the Pandemic COVID-19 would affect voting behavior.

The allegations of electoral fraud after his defeat of 2020 against Joe Biden were described later by his prosecutor General William Barr at the time as a game of “Whac-a-Mole”. Barr said there was no evidence of generalized fraud.

Dozens of prosecutions filed on behalf of Trump were rejected by the courts, and no plausible explanation emerged on the way in which the total voting for the presidential race was corrupted while the Congress, the Gubernatorial and the Myriad of other races on the 2020 ballots were not affected or disputed without incident.

However, Trump supporters who agreed that the elections had been stolen from him came down to the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to prevent the certification of Biden’s victory.

To start his second term, Trump pardoned people who are guilty of violent acts and other offenses related to their participation in the Capitol. The Ministry of Justice also announced an unpertified “survey” targeting the head of cybersecurity in the administration of Trump in 2020 who declared that the voting of the year was “the safest in American history”.

On Monday, Trump’s social media’s publication also mentioned “controversial voting machines”, although these machines are able to produce paper ballots, and almost all states audit the number of machines, including in many cases a paper record accounts.

The Dominion -founded Voting Systems in Toronto received US $ 787.5 million from Fox News in 2023 to set up a defamation trial, after the network amplified many bizarre claims on the voting technology company made by Trump and its substitutes in the weeks following the 2020 vote.

On Monday, it was announced that Dominion and Maga Network Newsmax settled similar complaints for a total of $ 67 million. Newsmax had previously set a defamation combination of the SmartMatic voting technology company for $ 40 million.
