Satirical Report: Texas Family Experiences 'Gerrymandering Earthquake' as New District Maps Take Effect

With the GOP's redrawn congressional maps taking effect across Texas, a local family reported Friday that the earth rumbled and dishes crashed to the floor as gerrymandering ripped through the kitchen of their home.

Dan and Jody Marshall noticed ripples forming in their water glasses, which were resting on a dining table that, unbeknownst to them, sat over the border of the state's newly created 21st and 35th congressional districts.

As the gerrymander drew closer, the increasingly violent tremors reportedly caused silverware to clatter and ceiling tiles to shake.
