Election Day Polls: The polls are open 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. each election day. Virtually all of TX is in the CST zone. Three (3) counties, including El Paso, are in the MST zone.
I would have split El Paso into two districts if I was them, unsure if that would cause trouble with the courts or whatever but it's worth a shot. It appears they took incumbent GOP Reps into account when drawing this, which is holding them back if they want the best possible map.
District 28 might still be too blue. Cruz won it by under 200 votes and Cuellar likely would prevail there should he run for reelection. District 35 is also narrowly Cruz by about 4%. These two seats might be in danger in a Democratic wave year.
Garcia is DOA in District 9 should she run there (unlikely), Gonzales is probably gone in District 34. Veasey, Johnson, Casar & Doggett are double-bunked. Not horrible but could be better.

Just getting really tired of the way this state has been run over the past several years, with seemingly no sign of slowing down (unless there are 2018-level swings out of nowhere). Sadly, gerrymandering is too esoteric of an issue for most people to care about, so this will go unnoticed by most (not that the mainly conservative voter base would care anyway).
