Forcing themselves on us, wanted or not: “Republicans recognize the only way for them to win going forward is to skew the maps so that Democrats can’t win, because right now, at least, the administration is a dumpster fire.” 🤬

Today Tennessee state representative Justin Jones burned a Confederate battle flag in the rotunda of the Tennessee State Capitol in protest of the legislature’s redrawing of the state’s congressional district maps to erase the majority-Black 9th Congressional District.
I want the GOP to keep control of the House. But not this way.
My fellow Indiana Republicans shouldn’t cave to White House pressure to redistrict.
Wisconsin redistricting experts tell Supreme Court Republican map proposals are gerrymanders
Consultants hired by the Wisconsin Supreme Court to examine six proposed maps redrawing state legislative districts say the ones submitted by the Republican Legislature and a conservative law firm are partisan gerrymanders. They stopped short Thursday of declaring the other four constitutional. They said only the court can determine whether any of those four plans from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, Democratic lawmakers and others are constitutional. The consultants declined to draw their own maps, but said they could if the court instructed them to. It is up to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to select the maps that are expected to greatly weaken Republican majorities.
The special masters report regarding the pending Wisconsin redistricting case is now available.
