Yes, it's clear to everyone that your voting rights in the USA depend on where you live. That map of Texas is just one particularly egregious example of a gerrymandered district.

I think it's crazy that national (federal) elections are held under rules that vary from state to state; and that a congressional district the shape of a snake is permissible at all, whoever gets to draw the district. It seems obvious to me that national elections should be held under uniform national rules. But it's none of my business; I don't live in the USA, and I'm not from the USA.
