Looks like they put a harbor in the middle of it.

It’s one of those Voting Rights Act districts that was gerrymandered to get a minority representative elected. Doing so has the knock-on effect of making surrounding districts more republican.

The 29th District (sitting aside SJ Lee's district) is just as gerrymandered. But it has a funny result:

Quote:The Texas State Legislature established the district so that a Hispanic or Latino could be elected as a member of Congress. Green, a non-Hispanic White, won the first election for the district in 1992. As of 2017, he is still the incumbent in the area.
