Texas Redistricting Map Targets Democrat Lloyd Doggett | The GOP-controlled Texas legislature released a proposed congressional redistricting map today which locks down several GOP members of Congress into safer districts and sticks Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) into a much tougher district. “Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, would go from a current district where Rick Perry won 41 percent of the vote in November 2010 to a new one where the Republican governor got 55 percent.”
