10. No, the claim is that in a state where 46% of voters back Trump

Having just one or two of 12 Congressional districts drawn to favor Democrats is unfair (less than 10%). Which is true, as supporters of the measure admitted. However, the GOP has been doing this for a long time, including egregiously in Wisconsin, but also, yes, the Texas redistricting also draw maps in wild disproportion to overall votes. So Johnson wants to be able to do this in Texas, but not in Virginia. He can eat shit.
