There's one thing Rs could have easily done w/ this map to make it pass court muster: restore a compact Dem Greensboro/Winston-Salem seat, instead of splitting the Triad three ways. Of course, that's not in the GOP's interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NC Senate Rs release a proposed remedial map, and it's still quite a gerrymander. 9-5 Trump in 2020, and a good chance Rs would win the Fayetteville/Wilmington 7th (Biden +0.4) for 10R-4D in 2022. Have a hard time believing NC Supreme Court would accept this. — PolitiTweet.org

The NC GOP's proposed treatment of Chapel Hill (in districts stretching to either SC or TN) has been creative, to say the least. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

As expected, minor changes to the lines in MN. The big question was Rep. Angie Craig’s (D) #MN02, and it moves from Biden +6.8 to +7.2. That still leaves her in a Toss Up race. Overall: remains 4R-3D-1C. — PolitiTweet.org

Rice becomes the 30th House Dem to forgo reelection, and #NY04 could be in play depending on the size of a GOP wave. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans appear to have veto-proof majorities for a status quo 5R-1D map in Louisiana. Looks like Dems’ only route for a second Black majority seat might be through litigation, though AL case makes that a long shot. — PolitiTweet.org

New: after FL Supreme Court declines DeSantis request, state House Rs unveil a map that could be either 18R-10D or 19R-9D (up from 16R-11D now). But it leaves #FL05 Rep. Al Lawson's (D) seat intact, and is short of the 20R-8D gerrymander DeSantis proposed. — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut becomes the 34th state to adopt a new congressional map, as the CT Supreme Court has approved special master @persily's plan. It's a least-change plan and likely to preserve the state's 5D-0R split, though #CT05 could be somewhat competitive this year. https://t.co/wFIZ4FOeks — PolitiTweet.org

Under the new lines in these states*, Biden carried 182/322 districts, up from 176/322 under the old lines (in the 11 states yet to redistrict, Biden carried 48/113 seats in 2020). *Some states are still pending litigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

National update: new lines have been adopted for 322 districts, only 19 of which (5.9%) were decided by less than 5 pts in the 2020 presidential election. That's down from 40/322 seats (12.4%) under the current lines in those same states. https://t.co/nXvGjPsFl7 https://t.co/rKRsjv3RBn — PolitiTweet.org

FL Supreme Court turns down Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) request for an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of #FL05, the only Black opportunity district in North Florida. Now, FL Rs must decide whether to keep or axe it (and possibly risk the entire map in court). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

A reason Dems' new NY lines are likely to be upheld: the same rationale of "too close to the election to change the rules" SCOTUS applied in the Alabama stay could be applied by NY courts, b/c petitioning will already be underway. — PolitiTweet.org

If that's too confusing to follow, the bottom line: a 7R-1D gerrymander dismantling Kansas City Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's (D) #MO05 (a la Nashville) doesn't look at all likely right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Notable jab from MO Gov. Mike Parson's (R) communications director against a group of hard-line conservative state senators filibustering in favor of a 7R-1D gerrymander (instead of the 6R-2D status quo map that the state House passed). https://t.co/At1Ipxw9x7 — PolitiTweet.org

All states in the western half of the lower 48, plus Hawaii, have adopted a new congressional map. The final 11 states left to go: CT, FL, LA, MN, MO, NH, NC, OH, PA, RI, WI. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The GOP map puts Davids (D) in jeopardy by weakening #KS03 from Biden +11 to Biden +4.5. But keep in mind, it could still be vulnerable to a lawsuit before the Dem-leaning KS Supreme Court for splitting Wyandotte Co., the largest cluster of non-white voters in Kansas. https://t.co/k7yXfQINbo — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans overrode the map w/ one vote to spare in the state House after anti-vaccine state Rep. Mike Houser (R), who had been out w/ a severe illness, showed up today. For now, Kansas is the 33rd state to adopt a new congressional map. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Washington became the 32nd state to adopt a new congressional map after the legislature approved minor changes to the commission-drawn lines. Overall it's a 6D-3R-1C map, and Rep. Kim Schrier (D) remains in a Toss Up #WA08. https://t.co/4xtWdEP4xZ — PolitiTweet.org
