Gerrymandering

Last week, the Cook Political Report estimated that Democrats are currently leading their nationwide redistricting scorecard; the party is currently projected to gain two seats as a result of new state Congressional maps. (Cook Political Report)

“The Supreme Court put on hold a lower court ruling that Alabama must draw new congressional districts before the 2022 elections to increase Black voting power… Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito, part of the conservative majority, said the lower court’s order for a new map came too close to the 2022 election cycle.” (AP News)

The right is critical of Democratic gerrymandering and praises the Supreme Court ruling.

The left argues in favor of changes to prevent gerrymandering by both sides, and criticizes the Supreme Court ruling.
