Abstract
Party politics is about power. It's about who has more and by how wide a margin. In an increasingly polarized political culture, a noticeable swing in power to either party could have far-reaching and sweeping legislative consequences. Modern campaigns are costly struggles-fights for a chance, it seems, not to serve a constituency, but to add your name to a group which collectively cares only about increasing their numbers. Nothing could be a more striking example of this than the fights which ensue over traditional post-Census redistricting plans, specifically, the battle for seats in the state of texas.
