220-215 if all seats are filled right now Dems have 3 open (death) kid touchers have 1 (resigned).
Cali has 52 total with 9 being Red Texas has 38 total with 13 being Blue
Cali can wipe all 9 seats out. Lasson county is +22 Red with a population of about 37k. Nevada county is +5 with 96k pop. You can start stretching lines and eat up red counties quick.
Cali has a little over 10mil democrats vs almost 6mil republicans voters.
Texas has about 8mil democrats vs 6.6mil republicans. They can't swallow all the blue counties.
Republicans win bc they spread out to remote areas. Democrats lose bc they have massive numbers in dense areas.
A 1:1 vote would fix a lot of problems but republicans would be out. 3:1 would be the party outlook for blue:red.

If Texas couldn't swallow that blue registered voter lead, Abbott wouldn't be a third term governor
It was more so, texas can't do what california can. There will still be blue areas just not 13 anymore. Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio are to populated to break up unlike Cali red areas.
Look at the Texas maps, the are jammed in.
