I was talking about Texas and their voting procedures to give you an idea of how they work, because I thought you didn't know.

So back to the question. How do you expect the vote turnout to not be different if the districts is gerrymandered against minorities?

Let me explain something just to make sure we're on the same page...

Voter turnout means the number or percentage of people that actually came out to vote. Hence, I'm pointing out states with strict voting laws surprisingly have higher voter turnouts than some states considered not strict. Dems argue voter ID lowers voter turnout, but clearly there are other factors like lack of interest.

There really isn't a significant link (if at all) between voter turnout and gerrymandering. Gerrymandering affects who is elected in districts.

I'm talking about gerrymandering, the same thing you just said in your last sentence. I asked how do you expect the vote turnout, to not be massively different if the districts is gerrymandered against minorities?

What I should've said was: how do you expect the vote (to) turnout, not different if the districts is gerrymandered against minorities.

I'm on a mobile phone. text is horrible.
