Just remember, democrats were against gerrymandering until MA, CA and VA did it. Then they were only against it for TX and FL.

Key takeaway
Texas went first; California explicitly responded to offset it.
Texas (Republican-led redraw)
Summer 2025
- Texas legislature passes a new congressional map (Aug 2025) aimed at adding GOP seats.
California (Democratic response)
Summer–Fall 2025
- Political push to counter Texas runs into obstacle: independent commission
- Legislature places a workaround on the ballot (Proposition 50)

The ruling is already resulting in southern states with R controlled legislatures gerrymandering black representation out of existence. Going back to the way things were before the VRA was passed.

DeSantis slammed for ripping up voter-approved Florida amendment in gerrymandering push
With his new congressional maps heavily favoring Republicans, Gov. Ron DeSantis is unilaterally declaring unconstitutional the 2010 "Fair Districts" amendment that state voters overwhelmingly approved, say statewide and national Democrats, along with the Miami attorney who got the amendment on...www.wlrn.org
The FL legislature violated a provision in the state's constitution.

Nice try at the lie though.
Dems will regret Virginia...
Abbott ordered the redistricting, and Biden was in charge of the data analysis.Incorrect. Trump called Texas and asked them to redraw. Bien was not the President in 2020.
Link to trump making this call…my guess is you can’t, you lied, to support the illegal acts in VAIncorrect. Trump called Texas and asked them to redraw. Bien was not the President in 2020.
Do not try arguing with people using crap posted on X. Trump called Texas, then Abbott ordered the redistricting.Abbott ordered the redistricting, and Biden was in charge of the data analysis.

This is quite refreshing.
Did Supreme Court Just Kill Dems’ Efforts To Racially Gerrymander Midterms?

Did Supreme Court Just Kill Dems’ Efforts To Racially Gerrymander Midterms? It Sure Did
This is what the party fears the most.issuesinsights.com
In a decision that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Democrats can no longer create safe electoral fiefdoms based on race to win elections, calling it “racial gerrymandering.” It’s about time.
The ruling essentially “neuters,” as some put it, Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. PJ Media scribe Matt Margolis called the decision “one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation.” That’s not hyperbole. And it was long overdue.
While still upholding the landmark Voting Rights Act, a 6-3 conservative majority found that a redrawing of Louisiana’s congressional map to include a second majority-black district violated the 15th Amendment.
However, “In striking down a Louisiana voting map as a racial gerrymander,” the New York Times noted, “the Court opened the door for other states to redraw maps.”
Other media jumped in, some saying the decision “guts” or “eviscerates” the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (it does no such thing; it simply follows the actual language of the bill and of the Constitution’s 15th Amendment).
Can screaming allegations of “racism!” be far behind?
The winner for greatest hyperbole (so far) goes to Esquire, which wrote: “Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King Jr. and Viola Liuzzo did not die just for the conservative majority to commit this heartless act of political vandalism.”
~Snip~
One person, one vote. That’s how Americans and the Constitution see it. Not, “my block of racialized voters, against yours.” Is that a country anyone wants to live in?
Commentary:
This may be one of the most consequential Court decisions in my lifetime. In the best way possible.
The “Great Society Act” was passed in the same manner.
The problem was that the Democrats owned the bureaucracy in DC so they wrote the rules that wound up making the blacks subservient to the Democratic Party. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan spoke forcefully against it accurately predicting exactly what we see today. More poverty, destruction of the black family etc. Fortunately with Trump and the grownups in charge we are reversing it.
Unfortunately, too many graduates from our “liberal arts” institutions would be shocked to find out that their political party fought a war not to abolish slavery, but to KEEP it!
Democrats are shrieking and their masks are completely coming off, revealing them to be the supreme racists they are.
They'll just start the process all over again using bought lower court judges issuing injunctions, then move onto a higher court. it’s all a dog and pony show. The Democrats have the courts, so someone will step up and stop it. Where's Boasberg when they need him?
Meanwhile with their hair on fire Democrats are screaming foul.

Supreme Court Denies Virginia Democrats’ Bid to Revive Illegally
Gerrymandered Congressional Map16 May 2026 ~~ By Cristina Laila![]()
BREAKING: Supreme Court Denies Virginia Democrats' Bid to Revive Illegally Gerrymandered Congressional Map * The Gateway Pundit * by Cristina Laila
The US Supreme Court on Friday denied Virginia Democrats' bid to restore the illegally gerrymandered congressional map.www.thegatewaypundit.com
The US Supreme Court on Friday denied Virginia Democrats’ bid to restore the illegally gerrymandered congressional map.
Chief Justice Roberts deferred the case to the full court.
The high court, in an unsigned order, denied the application for a stay and kept the current map in place.
“The application for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied,” the Supreme Court said in its response.
Last month, the Virginia Supreme Court denied a request from the Democrat Attorney General to pause a lower court order blocking the gerrymander referendum.
Virginia voters previously passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.
“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could have resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox News previously reported.
~Snip~
The US Supreme Court and the Virginia Supreme Court both shut down the Democrat gerrymander.
Commentary:
Democrats like Spamberger, Jefferies and Newsom all believed they do as they please and the People and law would allow them to do so. Now there's Supreme Court ruling that may change the Congressional representation throughout the nation and it would affect Democrat Blue states more than the rest of the nation. California, Massachusetts, and Virginia n particular.

Um I'm pretty sure when Texas redistricted to counter CA doing the same thing it was the LEFT whining about it. The left thought they "had us" when they voted to gerrymander the **** out of VA. FL answered and said NOT SO FAST. LEFTIES. And the VA supreme court has already admonished the new law.
Now even MY states gerrymandered districts are being redrawn CORRECTLY this time.
Texas did it first. In California, voters got to vote on it. Red states do not allow votes.
