Redistricting Season is Open
Every 10 years, U.S. states redraw their congressional and state legislative maps to account for changes in population. In many states, the politicians who control this process draw district lines in a way that maximizes their party’s partisan advantage and makes it effectively impossible for their opponents to win power.
This practice is called gerrymandering. And if you look at the map above, it is obvious and contrary to their actual votes – that Republicans want to change the playing field to favor their party. The rest is noise and political posturing.
