It is not unreasonable to think that Republicans could simply draw themselves the extra four seats they need to take back the House in the 2022 mid-term elections

The delay will complicate redistricting plans in almost every state. Most have deadlines to pass new plans for congressional and state legislative districts by the end of the year. But drawing new boundaries will be hard in this compressed time-frame. In many instances, the delay raises issues that will have to be resolved in court.

This is reminiscent of the redistricting battles of 2011. After the Tea Party movement swept Republicans to power across America in 2010, theused its dominance of the process to pack Democratic voters into fewer districts than they deserved based on their share of the vote.

In Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia redistricting is controlled by the states’ Republican-dominated state legislatures. In the past, this one-party rule over redistricting gave rise to claims that the states’ plans were drawn to dilute the power of racial minorities or of Democratic voters.

Let’s hope so, so the insanity can be curtailed!

You know they'll try. As the distinctly minority party, they cannot maintain power without gerrymandering and vote suppression. SenateGOP HouseGOP

Ah, so Republicans are planning on cheating again. Shocker.

Their plan is to make it much tougher to vote. Take away voting rights of American citizens.

Is this the good gerrymandering or bad gerrymandering?

We can only hope so.
