National redistricting battle could come to state legislatures and city councils
A national redistricting battle is about to enter a new phase. Several states already have redrawn congressional districts to create a partisan advantage in the November elections. Now, Georgia's Republican-led Legislature will convene June 17 to draw new districts for the 2028 elections not only for Congress, but also for state legislative seats. Mississippi Republicans are also planning to draw new districts before their 2027 legislative elections. It remains to be seen whether more state legislatures and local governments will try to redraw districts in light of a recent Supreme Court decision weakening the federal Voting Rights Act.
Old White DudeHow GOP #redistricting makes Democrat's 2026 House path harder
The people who were redistricted out of their #vote are still there. The Dems need to present a set of policies which appeal to them so that the come out in overwhelming numbers to our vote the MAGA bigots who support the redistricting & elect Dems despite this attack in their rights.

NonilexThe redrawing of these maps is almost certain to sharply reduce the number of #Black Americans serving in the US #House & could critically diminish the ability of Black voters & millions of other Americans to elect candidates of their choice. At the same time, they will become less able to hold the elected ofcls who come to represent them accountable. #Redistricting has already happened in Tennessee, Louisiana & Alabama. Lawmakers plan to redistrict in Georgia & Mississippi for future elections.
Since #SCOTUS’ April ruling, largely #white #Republican-led legislatures across the #South have moved to dismantle #Black political #power at stunning speed, breaking apart voting blocs at the urging of a failing president desperate to keep control of #Congress in this fall’s midterm #elections.

OBSERVATIONS OF A STUDENTGerrymandering
With all the recent uproar about Congressional redistricting, I suspected there was a decent chance that a lot of it was fake news, so I did a little digging and experimenting with my state of SC . . .https://morrowmichael.wordpress.com/2026/06/04/gerrymandering/

Efforts to redistrict #Maryland are gaining steam after the US Supreme Court decision legalizing gerrymandering in the deep south.
A special session is needed in Maryland to support democracy - Maryland Matters
In the recent legislative session, despite warnings about the U.S. Supreme Court’s plans to gut Voting Rights Act safeguards in states with a history of suppressing voting power for Black citizens, the Maryland Senate would not consider House proposals for reforms to make congressional redistricting possible. The urgency of the issues is now undeniable in […]
