Texas Governor Greg Abbott
Texas governor seeks court order to fire top Democrat who fled in row over voting map
AUSTIN — Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he is taking legal action to remove from office dozens of Democrats who have fled the state to block a plan to redraw electoral boundaries.He filed a lawsuit with the Texas Supreme Court seeking to fire Democratic legislator, Gene Wu, whom he called the "ringleader" of a plot to "hijack" state government.While the filing focuses on Wu, Abbott said in a statement that the departure of more than 50 Democrats would "constitute abandonment of their office, justifying their removal".The redrawn congressional map would create five more Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives in Washington DC, where Republicans hold a slim majority.Gerrymandering – redrawing electoral boundaries to favour a...
