Texas republican Presented a proposed set of new house lines On Wednesday, the party was put close to a step in 2026 to get five seats.
The newly proposed maps are likely to be located in the most directly MPs or in the Dallas-Fort Worth Region, Austin, Houston and the southern border, as Republicans look at the five seats in five seats in the next year’s mid colors.
Texas also has a decision to revive its lines Started a domino effectTo motivate other red and blue states to consider re -preparing their own lines in the middle of decade. The redistribution war will implicate which party has placed a house majority next year.
Here in 2026 there are states to see in redistribution battle:
Texas
President Trump Republican is ready to take several seats in the Loan Star State, as Republicans are braces for an adverse mid -edged environment. Texas MPs are calling for more special sessions than 18 agenda items, including redistribution.
GOP MPsPresented a new map on WednesdayThis will potentially help his party to give more of a cushion next year.
The new map will create five new house seats, which would have voted Trump with double points in the last November election, giving the opportunity to increase their majority up to 30 from members of the Texas Republican 25 Sadan.
The new proposed map immediately affects Democratic Reps. Mark Vesi in Dallas-Forth Worth, Julie Johnson in Dallas region, Greg Kaiser in Austin area and Lloyd Doggate, Al Green near Houston, and Visent Gonzalaz and Henry Caler near the southern border.
Ohio
Ohio MPs are required to re -prepare their home map this year, when the 2022 maps failed to receive bipartisan support.
The Baki state has a Congress delegation of 10 House Republicans and five House Democrats. Two of the weakest democrats, who could see their house districts even more strict, are those.
Rape. Greg Landsman (Ohio) is another Democrat who can see its district more competitively in Ohio’s 1 Congress district. Republicans face a difficult road to catch their district as the constitution of the state prevents MPs from breaking Cincinnati.
California
California village
California Democrats could put the issue in front of voters through a polling measure.
An alternative route will have to work through the State Legislature. Newsom has mentioned in the past that the State Constitution is silent on the potential mid -century redistribution, which can offer a potential flaws to MPs to re -prepare their maps.
Newsom, who met with Texas Democrats on Friday, said “Any step would go ahead when proceeding on Texas.”
New york
New York MPs are taking steps towards allowing the state to redistribute the state if needed.
New York State Assembly Member Micah Lasher (D) and State Sen Mike Gianris (D)Proposing lawsThis will allow the Empire State to re -prepare the house lines in response to another state undergoing mid -century redistricting.
New York also uses a revival commission to prepare its maps, but is subject to the approval of the Legislature.
Democrats are struggling with a major obstacle. To amend the constitution of the state, the effort will need to be passed in two consecutive sessions, after which the voters will then measure the ballot papers.
This would mean that Democrats will not be able to re -prepare their home map before 2026.
Florida
The Florida Supreme Court recently retained a challenge for the current map of the state, which broke the former Rape Al Lawson (D-Flow) district, depicted by Republican.
But the village Ron Desantis (R) suggested, despite that victory, the state should consider pulling a new home map.
“I think if you look at the analysis of that Florida Supreme Court, then there may be other defects that we have already done, need to be separated from it.”Said last week,
“I also feel that the population since the census in 2020 has moved around Florida, I think the state was malicious,” they continued. “So I think it would be appropriate to make a redistribution here in the midcad.”
Missouri
Missouri Republican LeadersThey say they are getting pressureTo redistribuate mid -century to his state from Trump White House, as Republican 2026 compensates for potential losses and as Democratic states re -defined their own lines in response to Texas.
Some RepublicanSaid thatThey support re -preparing the lines, while others are reluctant to reconsider the issue again.
new Jersey
The village Phil Murphy (D) said earlier this month that it was asked about redistribution in New Jersey that “was very early to make any definite statement about it.” But he left the door open for possibility.
Murphy said, “There is no news to make, apart from this, I will quote Sean Connery from ‘The Untachables’:’ I will never bring the knife with a gun.” “So, if we are going, we are from Jersey, Baby, and we will not be late.”
Like New York and California, New Jersey also uses a redistribution commission to prepare its map and possibly MPs will require a constitutional amendment to rebuild the map.
Illinois
Gov. JB Pritzker (D) met with Texas MLAs last week and left the door open for potential mid -assicious redistricting. Illinois does not use a redistribution commission and only its MPs need to pass their maps through the legislature – offer an easy passage with less logical barriers to re -re -lines your home.
“Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said on Friday. “We got to preserve democracy.”
Maryland
Maryland House Majority Leader David Moon (D) A bill introducedIf any other state adopts new house lines in the middle of the decade, the state will be allowed to pursue mid -century redistricting.
Maryland operates similar to Illinois in that map, only needs to be drawn and approved by state legislators. Ves Moore (D), a spokesman for the governmentTold New York TimesLast week governor “will continue to evaluate all options.”
Indiana
There are also reports Probably In Indiana, although it is not clear whether the hosier will have a uniform push in the state.
