To follow up:
By my count — which may not be 100% accurate but I think it is — Republican state legislators control the redistricting process in 23 out of 43 states. Might be 24 out of 44 since Montana has to draw lines this time as the result of getting a second Congressional district.
The 23 states are:
Alabama (Democrat lawsuit already filed)
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
West Virginia
Wisconsin
However: Kansas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina have Democrat Governors who will automatically veto (if they are able to) any Republican plan. That reduces Republican control to 19 states.
As noted, in Alabama the racist Democrats have already run screaming to a liberal judge, and there may be several other lawsuits already filed in some of the states listed above. Obviously zero suits will be filed by Republicans when they get screwed by Democrats as has happened again in Illinois, and if any Republican suits eventually ARE filed they will simply be dismissed for “lack of standing” in exactly the same manner that Democrat lawsuits never are.
We’re going to lose a republican seat in Ohio despite having legislative controls. nature of the beast with so many larger cities: Cleveland/Akron, Columbus, Toledo, and Cincinnati.
