The Supreme Court recently permitted Texas's mid-decade redistricting plan to proceed in a 6-3 decision, a move critics like Erwin Chemerinsky argue allows unconstitutional voting laws, while Donald Trump had urged the Republican Party-controlled legislature to draw the map favoring the party.In response, Kathy Hochul is advocating for a New York constitutional amendment to bypass its redistricting commission, as Gavin Newsom and other Democratic Party governors pursue a multi-state strategy to redraw maps to counter Republican Party gerrymandering ahead of the 2026 midterms.These widespread partisan redistricting battles, affecting states like California, Wisconsin, and Indiana, are intensifying, potentially reshaping political maps through 2028 and raising significant concerns about civil rights, electoral competitiveness, and the future of US democracy.
