I do wish they’d gotten on it sooner. But The Washington Post has a very good editorial today — Tuesday — on the continuing shenanigans of the Texas GOP. Mid-decade redistricting is bad idea — no matter how many novel excuses party shills come up with. And the Department of Homeland Security’s investigation was, as The New Republic recently put it, “a joke.” In the words of the Post, “The inspector general’s office has deemed off-limits the concerns that prompted calls for an inquiry in the first place, while reporting no wrongdoing in a corner of this weird affair where wrongdoing never seemed likely. If the IG’s office is right that the rest of the matter is not its business, then a different investigation must be conducted.” Even The New York Times has some good stuff on the story today.
