Texas working on plan that would make it impossible for any Democrat to win statewide election.
Currently state elections are decided in the normal fashion, by who gets most votes. Texas has one of the lowest voter turnouts in the country thanks to laws making it very difficult for the wrong people to vote. But demographics are changing. In wooing tech companies with low taxes and no environmental, health or safety regulations they also got an influx of well educated high turnout voters who support women's rights, marriage equality and caring for environment.

So the new scheme is a weird sort of electoral college. Candidate wins elections not with majority of votes but majority of counties. Texas is a huge state with a lot of small rural counties with a very small population that is very conservative. These counties of a few hundred would be equal to Harris County, which includes Houston. And there are hundreds of these tiny counties. A candidate could be elected with as little as 2% of popular vote.

It’s a dishonest headline that brilliantly served its intended purpose—which is to make people like you say “Did you hear? The Republican hicks in Kansas are taking away the right to vote”
