HOLY SHIT:
North Carolina Democrats just overcame gerrymandering and flipped the state House, ending 16 years of Republican legislative dominance.
This has enormous implications for gerrymandering and voting rights

Gerrymandering is insidious and the districts Dems were able to win this time will now work to CRIPPLE what some of these Dems feel comfortable doing while governing.
We STILL need to pass laws (and possibly constitutional amendments) to restrain gerrymandering.

THIS. Gerrymandering blocked Dems from gaining unified control over state government in GA, NC, TX, and maybe OH.
Nearly 1 in 5 Americans live in those states.
Many House races remain uncalled, but my very prelimiary estimate is gerrymandering cost Dems 2 dozen seats—only NC’s map fully fell apart

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work."
NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.

Despite the voter suppression and intimidation attempts, despite the Supreme Court, despite the gerrymandering. Despite it all.
The South is really killing it tonight. Saving our democracy AND showing that candiate quality really matters. And shout out to Black voters who refused to take the destruction of the Voting Rights Act laying down.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

play stupid games win stupid prizes, i guess. a real opportunity to end the gerrymandering wars with federal legislation under the next dem president though.

the optimal Dem strategy on gerrymandering seems pretty obvious to me: pass a federal gerrymandering ban in Congress, and then hand it to Trump saying “if you veto this, we will proceed with redistricting in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, and Wisconsin”
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill: "I don’t see a path forward for redistricting right now."
Sherrill rules out redistricting to protect Mullock, Bennett - New Jersey Globe
Gov. Mikie Sherrill has no plans to redraw New Jersey's congressional districts to help two newly elected Democrats win second terms in 2028, even though

Oh hey Alberta's latest (and highly controversial) electoral boundary report is out: www.assembly.ab.ca/docs/default...
And it's got a bunch of "hybrid" ridings that blend urban and rural areas into one.
For example, here's the proposed new "Calgary-North West-Bearspaw" riding:

Perderam todas as vagas que eles fizeram gerrymandering no Texas. Todas.
É ainda mais insano do que isso: eles olharam o voto latino e fizeram vários gerrymandering contando que o voto latino seria deles DEPOIS deles mandarem a gestapo do trump pra cima deles.
Ou seja, vai ter um monte de cadeiras que eles perderão por conta do gerrymandering.

I am jaw-dropped.
Democrats are leading in enough seats at the moment to flip the Texas state Senate.

Florida Republicans gerrymandered four US House districts to flip them red and look likely to lose all of them. Dems winning FL-09, 14, 22 & 25

🧵: I think gerrymandering cost Texas Dems roughly 10 House seats despite the GOP losing 6 intended seats and nearly several more.
Texas’ geography would be awful for them without gerrymandering. Suburban Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston would have been a bloodbath like in the statewide races
