Latest in AZ: Phoenix Councilwoman Laura Pastor (D), daughter of late Rep. Ed Pastor, is pushing for map changes that would aid her own future prospects in a safe Dem Phoenix seat at the expense of Dems' chances in a competitive North Phoenix district. https://t.co/HGnyaOnAOs — PolitiTweet.org

Why do Dem gerrymanders like IL/MD often look uglier on a map than GOP gerrymanders that are equally (or more) brutal/effective? Because Dems’ tendency to cluster in hyper-blue cities makes them easier/more efficient to pack. — PolitiTweet.org

Not saying parties "should" do anything, that's not my job. The fact I'm highlighting is that blue states have embraced redistricting reform more than red ones. As a result, Dems now have fewer opportunities to offset aggressive GOP gerrymanders with their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Maryland becomes the 20th state to complete a new congressional map. Democrats have made Rep. Andy Harris's (R) #MD01 more competitive, but they stopped well short of a maximal 8D-0R gerrymander. Initial @CookPolitical rating for the new #MD01: Lean R. — PolitiTweet.org

And now Senate Democrats vote in favor of an override, enacting the congressional redistricting plan by a vote of 32-14.

If you think redistricting is easy, tune into live video of CA's commission. Mapping w/ often-competing criteria is slow, painstaking work. But CA's 14 citizens (5D, 5R, 4 neither) are making progress where other more partisan/politician-driven processes have failed. — PolitiTweet.org

When I say "could have seized," I mean "might have otherwise seized" had voters/legislatures not approved commissions recently in CO/VA, a decade ago in CA and many decades ago in NJ/WA. The current situation was not entirely foreseeable then. — PolitiTweet.org

By our estimate, neutral/commission maps in the blue states of CA, CO, NJ, VA and WA (93 seats total) will end up costing Dems 10-15 House seats they could have seized by gerrymandering, making Republicans even stronger favorites for House control. https://t.co/B6pIvVChXf — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder: had VA Dems retained the power to redraw lines, we'd probably looking at an 8D-3R gerrymander (e.g. below) that would've shored up Spanberger/Luria/Wexton *and* created a new safe seat for a Prince William Co. Dem. Instead, Rs have a good shot at 5 (maybe 6?) seats. https://t.co/kiZq1HWL38 — PolitiTweet.org

New: a “deal” map is circulating in the PA Senate that would turn Rep. Conor Lamb (D)’s seat red in exchange for giving state Sen. Sharif Street (D) a path to primarying #PA02 Rep. Brendan Boyle (D).

Rep. Abigail Spanbeger's (D) only realistic option could be to move up to the new #VA07, turf she doesn't currently represent. But there are two Prince William Co.

Like the current map, this map would be 7-4 Biden but 6-5 Youngkin. The main difference: #VA10 Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D) becomes a narrow Youngkin seat and Spanberger's #VA07, relocated to Prince William Co., becomes a McAuliffe seat. — PolitiTweet.org

This map would force Spanberger to move from the Richmond suburbs to Northern Virginia to keep a seat (the northern end of the current #VA07 is folded into Wexton's #VA10). And, Rep. Elaine Luria's (D) #VA02 gets redder by losing Norfolk. It moves from Biden +5 to +2. — PolitiTweet.org

By the numbers, this might be a slightly better map for Dems than the current one (5D-4R-2C), but much better for Republicans than had Democrats retained redistricting power and drawn an 8D-3R gerrymander. — PolitiTweet.org

New: Virginia special masters' map eliminates Abigail Spanberger's (D) current suburban Richmond #VA07 & turns it into a safe Dem seat in Northern Virginia. Rep. Elaine Luria's #VA02 would remain highly competitive, for a 6D-4R-1C split overall. https://t.co/2Q6JIutp88 — PolitiTweet.org
