this will send your redistricting anxiety into overdrive
GOP gerrymanders shifted the median congressional seat from Trump+3.1 in 2024 to Trump+4.5 in 2026—3 points more than the national result of Trump+1.5.
That unfair advantage could grow by several points in 2028 if only the GOP redraws more maps, but new Dem maps may be able to fully counteract them

Alabama’s redistricting session drew five straight days of protests and Democratic turnout surged in the May 19th primary.
Don’t know if that’s enough to overcome sizable GOP margins in the state, but I will be genuinely surprised if Democrats *don’t* get a big turnout here on Tuesday.

yeah, so, i think Bluesky may be kind of structurally blind to exactly how mad the organs of Black politics in the South are right now

Andy Levin was the BETTER candidate vs. Haley Stevens in the 2020 Michigan primary which involved major redistricting. Glad I can FINALLY get that off my mind. TRUTH = TRAITOR Stevens! Vote Blue 💙🗳️

Nothing they did was illegal. Just like republicans redistricting in the middle of the decade is not illegal. So tell me, which will have more of an effect on the election?

I keep saying that the Louisiana Senate seat is in play. A poll (commissioned by Democrat Jamie Davis) showed the race a tie. Black voters in the state are pissed about redistricting. The shitty Republican may well win, but this is gonna be closer than anyone ever imagined.
Incredible Black turnout numbers during early voting so far. Black share of electorate has increased compared to 2024 by:
-9 points in Louisiana (where Callais originated)
-8 in SC
-6 in GA
-3 in NC

Black turnout is surging in Southern states that passed new gerrymanders or threatened to after SCOTUS dismantled Voting Rights Act
