A citizen redistricting committee has chosen potential new electoral maps for Fort Bend County with the top proposals keeping two safe seats for Democrats on the commissioners court while giving Republicans an edge in the two others.
While Democrats currently wield an electoral advantage in three of the four commissioner precincts under the current boundaries, on Monday evening a 10-member Citizens Redistricting Advisory Committee cast the most votes for a proposal that favors Republicans in Precinct 1 by 60 percent and Precinct 3 by 53 percent. The committee based the partisan analysis on election results from 2020 through 2024.
