Republicans Are Trying to Steal the 2026 Midterm Elections

California’s redistricting is governed by an “independent” redistricting commission. It is in their state constitution

You do not get it.

Check them now, buddy.

A new poll has a warning for Democratic Party leaders

While another survey finds the party's brand at historic lows, only a few Democratic politicians should be worried yet.

Speaker Johnson is a member of the Shreveport bar.

I have two friends there who know him, and they say he is as slimy as they come.

The rest of LA is well known for political corruption. Novels have been written about it.

Newsom has a plan to give Democrats a leg up for the midterms

Texas is redrawing districts to favor Republicans. Newsom says two can play at that game. He'll ask voters to approve new maps for California in November.

Trump is a scum bag to overwhelming America except for the GOP (29% of the vote)

I’m glad Texas has learned from the Democrats that Politics is a blood sport .

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.

67 million non-in-person votes is not fantasy.

Are you equally as incensed that New Mexico's Democrats redrew district lines so that no Republican can be elected pretty much anywhere at the state or federal levels?

I’ve repeatedly said we need to take the drawing of districts out of the hands of politicians

Then who draws the districts?

In my opinion those the people elect to run the government are the ones to make those decisions. It is just as wrong to jury rig districts to ensure the Democrat can win as it is the Republican.

However the proposed Texas political map doesn't look terribly different from the old one and it assures Democrats more seats than they were assured of before.

lol...you cant talk about nothing but your boogeyman can you?.,....you are the perfect example of the die hard party person....lol...

LOL.

They need a projection icon for this board.

For months not a peep from your party about Clinton, Obama or Biden, when Trump was asked about the JFK , MLK and Epstein files.



Then your dear leader choked as usual, on the Epstein files , your party came out of the woodwork, blaming everyone or anything else, EXCEPT the guy who said he would release the files.

Just like Trump.....................

California is going to gerrymander five to seven GOP districts. No way it can be stopped. That will take care of the GOP's gerrymandering in Texas.

Except for the fact that they squeezed out all the gerrymandering juice they had years ago. Democrats in NY and California wont do any gerrymandering at all now, because they will likely lose seats if they do.

Your word is as good as Trump's.

Republicans Are Trying to Steal the 2026 Midterm Elections​

New Texas redistricting plan could achieve Trump's aims​

2 days ago — Republicans in the Texas House have released a proposed new redistricting map that seeks to fulfill President Trump's desire.

Earlier this month, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, a Trump ally, added redistricting to the agenda for a special legislative session, citing concerns raised by Trump's Department of Justice that four existing, Democratic-leaning districts are unconstitutional.

I’ve repeatedly said we need to take the drawing of districts out of the hands of politicians

The problem is give it to who? All "non-partisan" redistricting methods do is give cover to the side that can figure out how to game that way of doing it.
