Republicans Are Trying to Steal the 2026 Midterm Elections

[martybegan]

They normally do it after a census.

It's required every 10 years due to the census and the connected gain/loss of seats in the House for each State.

State law, however, determines if it can be done more frequently.

Republicans have always cheated for power.

So have the Dems, so...

Trump's been elected 3X, Goober.
2016, 2020, and 2024.

Trump was never elected "goober".
Trump and his cult cheated all three times.

The party that fantasizes about stolen elections and routinely accuses the other side of cheating, is now doing just that. What Texas is attempting to do is a cheap trick. It should be illegal and struck down by the courts. This is a subversion of democracy. The voters should be choosing their representatives, not the other way around. If they are successful in this endeavor it may very well trigger "redistricting wars" in which the parties that have total control of a state draw up the most egregious gerrymanders they can to counter the opposition in other states. The result of this will be less competitive elections, voter disenfranchisement, and lower participation.

Texas GOP lawmakers released their first draft of the state’s new congressional map Wednesday, proposing revamped district lines that attempt to flip five Democratic seats in next year’s midterm elections.

The new map targets Democratic U.S. House members in the Austin, Dallas and Houston metro areas and in South Texas. The draft, unveiled by state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, will likely change before the final map is approved by both chambers and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott. Democrats have said they might try to thwart the process by fleeing the state.

This unusual mid-decade redistricting comes after a pressure campaign waged by President Donald Trump’s political team in the hopes of padding Republicans’ narrow majority in the U.S. House.

Currently, Republicans hold 25 of Texas’ 38 House seats. Trump carried 27 of those districts in 2024, including those won by Democratic U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar of Laredo and Vicente Gonzalez of McAllen.

Get serious, Qdog. MAGA loves Trump. Everyone knows that this Epstein list is just the Democrat's latest fabrication to muddy the waters for the midterms. That's because everything about the Democrat's positions sucks. You can't run on defund the police, let boys in the girl's bathrooms, sex change for 10 year olds, open borders, guys competing in girls sports and free sex change operations for military personnel, etc. Anyway, if Trump was implicated in any wrongdoing with Epstein, Democrats would have nailed him years ago. This is just another Russia, Russia, Russia deal.

16% of American is on Trump's side on Epstein.

That is about 1/2 of MAGA.

Time will tell, and it does not look good for you.

Oh, the Biden and Obama nonsense is for MAGA only. The rest of America pays no attention to that at all.

California has a law preventing it from happening, Texas does not have a law like that.

Watch and learn, grasshopper.

MAGA exemplifies "a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."
