See Where the Gerrymandering Wars Have Redrawn U.S. Congressional Maps

The nationwide gerrymandering battle has escalated after a landmark Supreme Court ruling in April weakened the Voting Rights Act, triggering a scramble to redraw maps ahead of primaries. Eight states have redrawn their congressional districts since President Trump pressured Texas lawmakers last summer to pass a map favoring Republicans. California moved quickly, approving a new map in August that voters backed in November, designed to flip five red districts, and the Supreme Court upheld it in February. Florida followed with a map creating four more Republican-leaning seats, splitting a Democratic Tampa district and eliminating a Democratic Orlando district. Other shifts include Kansas City’s core realignment, Ohio’s map potentially adding up to two Republican seats, North Carolina’s district changes to favor Republicans, and Tennessee’s carving of Memphis’s Democratic district into three parts; a coalition of voters and Democratic candidates has sued Tennessee officials.
