Redistricting debate gets heated: 'You left!'
The Texas House will vote on new mid-decade redistricting maps on Wednesday after a two-week delay. The Republican-led House is looking to create five additional GOP House seats ahead of next year's midterm election. Redistricting is usually only done after the U.S. census every 10 years. Republicans say the new districts were drawn to maximize partisan advantage. Democrats oppose the new maps, saying they're based on racial discrimination. The Senate has already passed the new Congressional maps.
