The first ranked-choice election in Alaska will be a special election (likely August) to replace late #AKAL Rep. Don Young (R). This seat is likely to stay in GOP hands. https://t.co/EtpMwkYshf — PolitiTweet.org

The 117th Congress is having a rough go of it: five people elected to it in 2020 have since passed away (Letlow, Wright, Hastings, Hagedorn, Young). But that’s still not as cursed as the 110th Congress (2007-2009), when eight sitting members died in office. — PolitiTweet.org

If there was one thing you could count on handicapping House races, it was Don Young running for reelection. But the craziest stat is that over five decades he came within single digits of losing eight times (by my count) but no one could ever beat him. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow: on a seeming technicality, the OH Supreme Court leaves open the possibility for the latest GOP congressional gerrymander to be used for this November’s election. A surprise and a setback for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a maximal GOP gerrymander, flipping Rep. Chris Pappas's (D) #NH01 from Biden +6 to Trump +2. Now, we'll see if Gov. Chris Sununu (R) - who has publicly thrown cold water on the idea - signs it. — PolitiTweet.org

First of all, it's a badly misleading headline. Second, partisans test the strength of the seats they draw using election results down to the precinct level, not census data - and that election data's pretty robust. — PolitiTweet.org

Dems have thwarted GOP gerrymanders in NC, OH, PA and WI this cycle by winning key statewide contests (judicial/gov). If sole power rested w/ legislatures, there’d be almost no constraints b/c they could perpetuate their own rule via - you guessed it - gerrymandering. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Of the five remaining states, Ohio has by far the most potential to alter the national picture. If the OH Supreme Court invalidates the GOP plan and orders a 8-7 Trump plan (example, left), it could hand Dems 2-3 more seats vs. the current 12R-4D gerrymander (right). https://t.co/vtgjiFwRlB — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Seeing quite a few people fall for a highly misleading analysis comparing ‘22 GOP share of primary turnout in South Texas to ‘20 general results to insinuate a Dem surge. If you compare ‘22 to past *primaries,* Dem erosion is stark. And those misrepresenting data are in denial. — PolitiTweet.org
