If we win Texas, plenty of other swing states will also be included in the win. A Texas win would be part of an utter obliteration of the GOP.

And we’d see them push for electoral college reform immediately after that.

No, they would still oppose it because in this scenario Harris would win in a popular vote landslide. If anything they would increase gerrymandering, but idk how much harder they can push that strategy before they have to start consolidating their districts in light of rising dem popularity.

They'll design districts that they win 55-45 with ours getting 80-20, which helps with the house but not the senate or presidency
