New: NY Judge Patrick McAllister has tapped Carnegie Mellon postdoctoral fellow Jonathan Cervas to draw a "standby" congressional map in case NY's highest court strikes down Dems' 22D-4R gerrymander (h/t @JeffWice). — PolitiTweet.org

New at @CookPolitical: in February, Dems were on track to net 4-5 seats in redistricting nationally. But after developments in FL/OH, new maps are shaping up to be a partisan wash (w/ far fewer competitive districts). https://t.co/SpcS5K3iMt https://t.co/qQuJ4D3xpM — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, the median congressional district (#IL14) was Biden +2.4 in 2020, about 2 pts to the right of the nation as a whole. If FL passes the DeSantis map and NH/MO pass status quo maps, the median district (#NJ07) would be Biden +3.6, about 1 pt to the right of the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Just wait until the Ohio Supreme Court rejects the second set of GOP congressional lines, even though the primary will likely have already happened and the lines could remain in place for the 2022 cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, the 20R-8D DeSantis gerrymander would dilute the votes of Black communities in St. Petersburg, Orlando and North FL to benefit Rs in ways that previous courts have struck down. We’ll see what the new, more conservative FL Supreme Court (and possibly SCOTUS) say. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

If this 20R-8D FL map passes and withstands court challenges, it could net Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Dems' national redistricting gains thus far. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Highly unusual move for House Dems' top Super PAC to take sides & spend in a primary for a considerably blue open seat, in this case for a crypto-backed candidate in the newly-drawn #OR06. https://t.co/xVOj2F1GYM — PolitiTweet.org

Two Dem open seats, #FL07 and #FL13, are already in severe jeopardy. But will DeSantis's push to dismantle Rep. Al Lawson's (D) plurality Black #FL05 pass court muster? Dems counting on FL Supreme Court or federal courts to step in. But neither looks like a reliable backstop. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

We weren't kidding when we wrote this in October. Now, with FL's GOP legislature poised to adopt something proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Rs could replace 16R-11D w/ as lopsided as 20R-8D, wiping out Dems' national remap gains - if courts let them. https://t.co/VlAyzLgU28 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New @CookPolitical: although the likeliest outcome is still that Dems' NY map stands at least for 2022, the stakes are much higher here than in MD. Control of 3-4 seats is on the line. https://t.co/qev5w95bcW — PolitiTweet.org

New: NH Supreme Court intends to appoint a special master, Stanford Prof. Nate Persily, to draw a new congressional map *if* the GOP legislature & Gov. Chris Sununu (R) can't agree on a plan by late May. https://t.co/4yhAOfkzwj — PolitiTweet.org

A fact I find mildly surprising: four of the five House members who have announced their retirements since Feb. 15 have been Republicans (I would’ve expected more Dem exits). — PolitiTweet.org

This could clear the way for Trump-endorsed former White House aide Max Miller (R) to win the newly drawn suburban Cleveland #OH07, which would've been 88% new to Gibbs anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Not unexpected, but Upton becomes the 4th pro-impeachment R of 10 to retire this November. Clears the way for Rep. Bill Huizenga (R) in #MI04, which remains in Solid R at @CookPolitical. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New: Maryland becomes the 41st state to finalize a new congressional map (only FL, MO, NH to go). This compromise map is likely to preserve a 7D-1R split, though #MD06 Rep. David Trone (D) could still be vulnerable this fall. https://t.co/PYwNE9MXG7 — PolitiTweet.org
