Hoo boy.  What could possibly go wrong here?  Texas science departments about to become vast wastelands of biological and environmental chaos.

Um...they are up for review every two to six years. They just aren't being fired by the people in charge--the voters. >

Gerrymandering enters the conversation >

The cure for Gerrymandering- all seats run as ‘at Large’ — yep >

That's close to a Proportional system, which would fix the problem. The system mostly stays as it is, with a new rule that means a party's proportion of seats must equal it's proportion of votes - so if a party wins 55% of the vote but only wins 50% of the seats, it can add 'at large' members (aka 'list members') until the proportion is correct. That is how most democracies operate. Usually parties only add one or two 'at large' or 'list' members, if any, since there is no motivation to Gerrymander to begin with. >

Whoa! You have too much faith in the American voters- they cannot understand that >

Well, a large chunk of the electorate really does not want to understand that.
