message: I think that this article is biased in the way it describes supposed Democratic gerrymandering after the 1990 census and the subsequent description of the Republican response to that after 2000.
*Okay... how would you say it, then, to make it NPOV? Personally, I think both political parties are at fault for the gerrymandering mess here (the Democrats for being arrogant enough to think that they could get away with it when they were in an extreme majority and the Republicans for drawing a vengeful map to "compensate"), and it snowballed to the mess we currently have, but that's editorializing a bit too much and wouldn't be encyclopedic. It's a polarizing issue for many Texans and one we have to show both sides of, and hopefully we can either make everyone happy or at least not disgruntled. Souperman 03:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: :I picked the following text from the gerrymandering article, where it was misplaced by some other contributor.  I'm putting it here - someone should figure out a way to work it into the article.  You may just be able to cut and paste. Scott Ritchie 05:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure this level of detail is appropriate for an article that gives a broad-brush overview of Texas political history. . .I also have some NPOV concerns about the text. TMS63112 15:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Have added this to the Lead and article; disfranchisement of blacks was a major issue in TX and other states of the former Confederacy - they all passed laws/amendments to achieve this, often excluding poor whites as well, by measures such as poll tax, white primary (both used in TX), grandfather clause, literacy tests, and residency requirements, as well as making voting more difficult. It still has to be told.Parkwells (talk) 15:46, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
