If CA does lose a seat, the commission is likely to axe a seat in slow-growing LA County. But even if it eliminates… https://t.co/2z1EJcJ7Zd — PolitiTweet.org

CALIFORNIA: may lose a seat for the first time since statehood. At serious risk in that scenario (right): LA County and #CA25 Rep. Mike Garcia (R). Not at much risk: Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R) #CA23 and Devin Nunes (R) #CA22. Full report @CookPolitical: https://t.co/cCb28KlJA8 https://t.co/xKo8DdNEJR — PolitiTweet.org

"For the collection of GOP consultants and former officials, being anti-Trump was becoming very good for business. Of the $90 million Lincoln Project has raised, more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders." https://t.co/2DddjYizge — PolitiTweet.org

Just in: Anthony Brindisi (D) has conceded to Claudia Tenney (R) in #NY22. Final 2020 election House result: 222D, 213R. Republicans came within 31,751 votes of winning the majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Too early to say whether the special election in #TX06 will be highly competitive. It's been trending blue at the presidential level (Romney +17, Trump +12, Trump +3) but Wright (R) still won +8 in 2020. FWIW, the district is likely to get a lot redder after redistricting. — PolitiTweet.org

New York's board of elections set to certify Claudia Tenney (R) the winner over Anthony Brindisi (D) by 109 votes in #NY22 today, per court order. The post-election proceedings in razor-thin #IA02 and #NY22 have, frankly, gone terribly for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest redistricting controversy in AR? In Jan., Atty. Gen. Leslie Rutledge (R) hired former state GOP chair Doyle Webb to a $150k/yr job as the state's redistricting director. Webb's wife serves on the state supreme court that nixed a redistricting reform ballot measure. — PolitiTweet.org

ARKANSAS: Republicans control redistricting for the first time in over a century, but don't look for much change at the congressional level. They'll be looking to lock in their current 4R-0D shutout (left), perhaps slightly shoring up #AR02 Rep. French Hill (R) (right). https://t.co/z3aA60gEWl — PolitiTweet.org

To clarify, yes - the new chair of AZ's commission, Erika Schupak Neuberg, is a tie-breaking independent. But the other four members are all partisan appointees - two Dems, two GOP. This isn't going to be a smooth ride. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

By contrast, Ds will once again emphasize *competitiveness.* In the below scenario, #AZ01 retains all its tribal lands and stays competitive, a swingy new #AZ10 arrives in Scottsdale, and up to *six* seats are competitive - potentially making AZ ground zero for '22 House control. https://t.co/yaYnZk670q — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Republicans will likely push for more *compactness* - including putting Mohave Co. in #AZ01, which could doom O'Halleran (D) as well as creating a new R-heavy #AZ10 anchored by fast-growing Pinal Co., possibly converting 5D-4R to 6R-4D (below). https://t.co/glRFn8eVUU — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Even though AZ is gaining a 10th seat, there are a few incumbents at considerable risk of an adverse redraw: #AZ01 Rep. Tom O'Halleran (D), as well as Reps. David Schweikert (R) #AZ06 and Debbie Lesko (R) #AZ08. Full analysis at @CookPolitical. https://t.co/Q9GVNatVpj — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

ARIZONA: is poised to add a seat, its 7th straight decade with a gain. Perhaps fittingly after last decade's chaos, the commission has chosen a psychologist/life coach as its chair. For reference, the current map (5D, 4R) is below... https://t.co/3OODezh41n — PolitiTweet.org

Why are there members of Congress who have been radicalized by falsehoods spread virally on the internet? Because tens of millions of *voters* have been radicalized by falsehoods spread virally on the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Lost in this conversation: the reality there are bound to be more MTGs to come b/c the views she's expressed are *not that far* outside the mainstream of GOP primary voters' beliefs in a whole lot of deep-red districts. — PolitiTweet.org

More confirmation that the House GOP is roughly divided in thirds: - Freedom Caucus/MAGA true believers who voted vs. Cheney - Institutionalists/mods who voted to certify election - Floaters (including McCarthy) who mostly operate in fear of being overthrown by the first group — PolitiTweet.org

Even if Alabama keeps all seven of its seats, Dems are likely to sue in federal court to seek an additional Black majority district (#AL02 in the example below). Full analysis at @CookPolitical - and coming soon for every state. https://t.co/2VAdsF8pyY — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Alabama: even though Rs control redistricting, they may have no choice but to axe one of their own districts if the state loses a seat. Rep. Barry Moore (R)'s #AL02 (left) might be at greatest risk of being axed (right). https://t.co/Z5AlXxrlrs — PolitiTweet.org

Alabama: even though Rs control redistricting, they may have no choice but to axe one of their own district if the state loses a seat - b/c the VRA protects the lone D seat, #AL07. Rep.
