Texas Hold 'em?

"Texas lawmakers responsible for redistricting the state’s legislative boundaries discriminated against Hispanic voters and tried to protect Republican incumbents, the U.S. Justice Department argued in a federal court in San Antonio on Monday." WaPo

Growing up a Sooner, I have to tell my favorite Texas Joke:

There's a fine line that separates an Okie from an idiot - it's called the Red River.
