Millions of people have been placed in new voting districts
A significant redistricting effort is underway ahead of the November elections, impacting millions of Americans. Republicans in several states are enacting new congressional maps that could potentially increase their seats in the House. Meanwhile, legal challenges and court decisions are shaping the redistricting landscape as states work to finalize their plans.
- ▪Republicans believe they could gain as many as 14 seats from redistricting efforts, while Democrats anticipate a gain of six seats in California and Utah.
- ▪The U.S. Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map for being an illegal racial gerrymander, prompting a delay in the state's primary elections.
- ▪Missouri's Supreme Court has rejected challenges to a new U.S. House map that favors Republicans, while voting rights groups are contesting Florida's new districts for alleged partisan gerrymandering.
