Can someone please explain the status of redistricting and the 2020 census,?

I'm totally flummoxed and incapable of explaining the politics right now re: gerrymandering. I encountered a census worker nearly a year ago going door to door and getting no answers.

Research includes:

And WaPo being idealistic...

How can we help? What can DU do to help?

1. once 2020 results are final, state legislatures use it for districting and gerrymandering if

your are a repub. they will redesign districts to balance them in favor of repubs winning as many as possible.

2. I heard on the news recently that there is a counter measure that can come from Biden.

I know the impotus was trying to mess around with the census. Then the delay to April affords other efforts, I guess? The GOP has to do everything it can to gerrymandering and still suppress the vote.

The extinguishing of the Republicans Party provides a real opportunity to fix this mess. I wish the new leaders would say that.
