Expecting a FL GOP congressional draft today, and it could aim for as wide as 19R-9D (current delegation: 16R-11D). — PolitiTweet.org

Just calculated that the most aggressive gerrymander of these four "concept" maps by MD Dems (bottom left) makes Rep. Andy Harris (R)'s #MD01 only Biden +8, even weaker than I thought. — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry, draft #3, not #2. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The most aggressive draft (#2) would flip Harris’s #MD01 from Trump +20 to Biden +10 - about as blue as Virginia. That’s pretty surprising, considering MD Dems could easily make it Biden +15 or more and have shown little restraint gerrymandering the state in the past. — PolitiTweet.org

New: Maryland Dems unveil four draft congressional maps, including two that would essentially leave Rep. Andy Harris (R) safe and two weak gerrymanders that could still give him a path to reelection. https://t.co/HyQRxyrfFq https://t.co/PZ6LjOuIIS — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This 3D-1R plan is a calculated risk for Dems: if the political environment is as bad for them as it was in VA last week, Nevada could end up w/ a 4R-0D delegation. But by that point, Dems will have already lost House control by a mile. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NEW: Nevada Dems propose unpacking Rep. Dina Titus's (D) Las Vegas #NV01 to shore up suburban Reps. Susie Lee (D) #NV03 and Steven Horsford (D) #NV04. New map (right) would give them all Biden +7-9 seats (h/t @zach_solomon1, @RalstonReports, @Umichvoter). https://t.co/qIk7dxP2xx — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

But the reality is, as long as California (52 seats) uses a nonpartisan redistricting process, Republicans will enjoy a major gerrymandering advantage largely b/c they control the next two largest states, Texas and Florida (66 seats). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

If every state were to take a chainsaw to their congressional maps, blind to incumbents & election data (like California 👇), the House would have less of a pro-GOP skew and there would be far more competitive seats. — PolitiTweet.org

Hardcore redistricting nerds are up late watching CA’s redistricting commission @WeDrawTheLines marathon map session. Now discussing the Gingles test as it pertains to drawing VRA-compliant districts in Orange County. Riveting, edge of seat stuff. https://t.co/vwOqYWP7c0 https://t.co/ytcPk197XS — PolitiTweet.org

If you think the mapmaking portion of the redistricting process is ugly, just wait for the lawsuits. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Maryland is one of Dems' few redistricting weapons, and a draft could come any hour now. A "maximal" Dem map would be 8D-0R, giving all 7 Dem incumbents Biden 20+ seats and flipping Rep. Andy Harris's (R) #MD01 from Trump +20 (left) to Biden 15+ (example, right). We'll see... https://t.co/UPQHBNkU1q — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

After the commission's deadlock, redistricting in VA now falls to the Supreme Court of Virginia. I'm skeptical the "special masters" appointed by both parties' leaders will be able to arrive at a consensus map, so the right-leaning court looms large here. https://t.co/hDyhzsYX5i — PolitiTweet.org

Entirely expected, but Utah Republicans ignore the state’s new advisory commission to propose a 4R-0D map that probably eliminates any chance Dems win federal office for the next decade. Expect Maryland Dems to do the reverse in the next few days. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos if you predicted the headline "House Republicans rescue Biden/Pelosi agenda." — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting: #WV01 Rep. David McKinley (R) votes "yes" even though he's in a primary against #WV02 Rep. Alex Mooney (R) in a merged seat. Raises question whether he will ultimately join ranks of "yes" retirees (along w/ Kinzinger, Gonzalez, Reed and probably Upton). — PolitiTweet.org
