California voters passed a new congressional redistricting map in Prop 50. Want to learn how districts change for the 2026 elections? I talked with @rmichaelalvarez.bsky.social about the 5 districts in the new map that turn GOP-leaning seats into Dem-leaning seats. youtu.be/-EC_monSQ38?...

(AP) — Kansas’ Republican House leader on Tuesday dropped efforts to force a redraw of U.S. House districts that would have thrust the state into a widening national battle for partisan advantage in the 2026 elections

Enjoyed discussing redistricting wars, voting rights, and communities of interest today at Widener Delaware Law School. As a redistricting nerd, I was energized but the legal audience found the relative lack of national guardrails normatively depressing.

Technically Davis v. Bandemer (1986) said partisan gerrymandering was justiciable, and then Rucho (2019) strongly disagreed and overturned. But in practice, both cases affirmed and kept in place partisan gerrymandered maps.

The R gerrymander in 1980s Indiana worked as expected in the aggregate, but some R incumbents lost unexpectedly along the way to the gerrymander. In Davis v. Bandemer (1986), SCOTUS allowed partisan gerrymandering and it was affirmed again in Rucho (2019).

As Indiana is pressured to redistrict by White House, state legislators may recall Davis v. Bandemer (1986). Rs gerrymandered legislature in 1980s but in several seats Dems surprisingly won later due to Rs spreading out R voters across many districts. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Texas state lawmakers gave final approval early Saturday to a new election map that President Trump pushed to help Republicans in next year’s midterms, sending the plan to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for his signature after a weeks-long standoff with Democrats.

Smart article from @calmatters.org on "gut and amend," which has been used regularly in CA legislature for decades. The CA Supreme Court overturning that procedure would have huge ripple effects on other laws, so this legal challenge is unlikely to prevail. t.co/E2bFUbcbZj
