Texas Democrats Win 47% of the Vote — But Only 34% of the Seats
This chart compares three metrics: the share of statewide federal votes won by Democrats, their current share of Texas congressional seats under the gerrymandered 2025 map, and the projected seat share under a nonpartisan fair-map model. The data illustrate the representative distortion produced by the newly upheld congressional map that removed Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s district.
Texas Democrats should hold 18 out of 38 House seats based on their vote share, but they hold only 13. The Supreme Court ruling cemented a 5-seat deficit created through redistricting, not voter preference.
