Republicans across the nation are losing the redistricting battle that will shape November’s midterm elections and ultimately Joe Biden’s presidency.
With Republican state legislatures in control of reshaping 187 districts while Democrats only control 75, Republican legislatures had an opportunity to wreak havoc on Democrat-leaning districts, splitting them up with district lines that benefit Republican candidates.
But in multiple red states, Republicans have not drawn Republican-favoring district maps. In blue states, however, Democrats have been very aggressive.
The establishment media have taken note since December of how “weirdly well” Democrats are performing. According to the Associated Press on Monday, Democrats are making “surprising inroads in redistricting fight.”
The reports have indicated Democrat legislatures are aggressively drawing lines in states such as Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon, Maryland, California, New Jersey, Nevada, and likely New York, while Republican legislatures have failed to draw strong lines in Missouri, Indiana, and Georgia.
The Democrats’ aggressive actions and the Republicans’ weak efforts threaten the GOP’s ability to win enough U.S. House seats to overcome its deficit of five. Moreover, Republicans must win enough seats to overcome establishment Republicans.
Many establishment Republicans are likely to side with Democrats on important 2023-2024 issues, such as banning lawmakers from trading stocks, firing Dr. Anthony Fauci, and breaking up big tech.

That’s why it’s called the Stupid Party.
Republicans consistently rollover and act like pussies. Some things never change.
That’s what comes from electing Assistant Democrats.
The DOJ is intervening in Texas (I think it’s Texas) to overturn Republican redistricting plans. I have no doubt they will give the Dems a blank check for anything they try to pull off.
And when they don’t roll over, the Dems and media say they are “threatening our democracy.”
Oh wait. I thought we were going to crush the Democrats in the midterms.
Republicans at the state level are just as bad, if not worse, than any at the federal level. Just as corrupt. Just as spineless. See Georgia for examples of both.
Legal battles should be fought over the weird districts democrats are drawing.
This is simply nonsense. The GOP has absolutely gained seats through redistricting, its just not as aggressive as the change in 2010 was.
There are two ways to redistrict, broad and deep.
In many places, the legislatures are drawing as many safe seats as they can rather than trying for maximizing immediate short term gain. IOW they aren’t drawing maps for 2022, they are drawing them for 2028.
The GOP is going to take the House. Period. It doesn’t matter how many you pad the number beyond 218 in 2022. What matters more is drawing a map that can last the decade.
Losers gonna lose.
We need a new party, I'm tired of being unaffiliated.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Let’s face it. The GOP loves being the minority party. McConnell and his thugs sabotaged DJT’s reelection. Remember what McConnell said shortly after DJT’s election: That’s about enough of that drain the swamp s**t.
More like collusion to keep maga candidates from winning....it makes plenty of sense. That FAT *itch RNC chairwoman HAS GOTTA GO if our patriot base is to save America!
It's not an act...
Was there ever any doubt?
Anything the Repubs do will incur the wrath of Garland.
Anything the Rats do will be proclaimed as “fair and equitable”.
Nothing in between.
Cuz it’s all about the money. Nothing more.
There was a thread on here the other day about Crenshaw. Someone commented that Crenshaw’s stock purchases and performance were better than Pelosi’s. Not sure if it’s true, but, if so, says everything we need to know.
“What matters more is drawing a map that can last the decade.”
Ten years sounds good on paper, however, I hear about several states redistricting a lot more frequently. So, what good is a 10 year district that will get redrawn two or three times during that period?
That’s the problem with the republicans. They are too nice. Sometimes you have to fight back and defend yourself against bullies. If they are too stupid or naïve to understand that, then God help us.
