Yeah you hear people say this a lot but it just doesn't ever match up when it comes to Statewide and National races that have nothing to do with gerrymandering. In 2022 Republicans won Statewide Races by almost 10 points across the board. Ted Cruz wiped the floor with the Allred in the latest Senatorial race. Maybe we'd be a Bluer state if we didn't have the most incompetent Democratic State party in the nation.
also Tactical Voting is a thing i have voted Republican in every primarily and voted Democratic in every general since i got to Texas.
