The GOP would be in the majority if the 2020 election was not stollen.

So I don’t know how the GOP thinks the 2022 mid terms will not be stollen again?

GOP already has enough safe seats — through redistricting alone — to win back House in ‘22

Republican-led states have already added enough safe seats through redistricting to flip control of the House of Representatives in next year’s midterm elections.

Republicans have already reconfigured enough districts to add five safe seats, which would be enough to flip the House majority if nothing else changes, according to a New York Times analysis.

Though people of color drove most of the nation’s population growth in the last census, some Republican states have aggressively packed voters of colors into single districts or failed to draw a single minority-majority district at all.

Many of the new maps have already been challenged by lawsuits, although a 2019 Supreme Court decision that allows federal courts to review gerrymanders that appear to be based on race — but not those designed simply for partisan advantage — is likely complicate the legal challenges.

Republicans have already added a net total of five seats, according to the Times, after completing redistricting in Texas, Iowa, North Carolina and Montana. Though Democrats are poised to add safe seats for themselves in states like New York, Illinois and Oregon, Republicans have total control of the redistricting process in states that represent 187 congressional districts while Democrats control just 75.

Some of the new maps build on existing districts that were already heavily gerrymandered by Republicans following the 2010 census.

The path back to a majority for Democrats if they lose in 2022 has to run through states like Texas, and they’re just taking that off the table.

Other Republican-led states are expected to produce similarly gerrymandered maps. Ohio Republicans are pushing a map that would give them 13 of the state’s 15 seats in the House, giving them 86% of seats even though Donald Trump won just just 53% of the vote in Ohio last year.
