This tweet about redistricting is spot on

[Proud liberal 80]

The states that are losing seats (Cali, NY, Minnesota, New Jersey) the seats that are lost have to be the Republican districts ones to offset what Republicans are going to do in Florida and Texas....wouldn’t it be nice for McCarthy and Nunez have to battle each other in a primary because one of their districts went away

1. It would be outstanding!

2. Illinois is losing one seat, as far as I can determine.

It may be Adam Kinzinger's seat.

Democrats have a supermajority here. We can redraw these districts any way we like, as long as we stay within the bounds of the Voting Rights Act.

7. The republicans will be thrilled to lose his seat.

Isn’t there another republican seat that can be drawn out? I hate to see repugs happy. Lol.

[murielm99]

13. His seat would be safe, no matter what.

This is a very red district. He has an "R" after his name. I think he is looking to run for higher office.

Don't count him out. He is a snake an an opportunist.

3. I think all states should do independent redistricting

Arizona has done it and there have been improvements ever since. My district has been blue rather than gerrymandered into a red area.

6. I wish Texas could redraw more fairly.

My area hasn't been represented in congress
for the last 15 years.

8. I agree

But I hate how a lot of Republican states don’t while Democratic states do...that puts us at a disadvantage by playing by different rules

[KentuckyWoman]

4. I'm sick of gerrymandering. Period.

Until we actually fix that, along with campaign finance, then America will continue to suffer.

5. WHY isn't the question, why are blue states losing seats

And red states gaining? That’s a huge problem!

9. That isn't a done deal yet

We don’t know for certain which states will lose seats. I also read that West Virginia and Mississippi may lose a seat as well.

The size of the House needs to be changed. A state shouldn’t lose seats unless it loses population. The 435 seat limit can and should be changed.

[Proud liberal 80]

11. Yeah the 435 limit is dumb

[moose65]

14. Yep

Hasn’t been changed in over 100 years. The population has tripled since the size of the House was set at 435. New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii weren’t states yet in 1910. Women and minorities couldn’t vote.

[mountain grammy]

16. Yes, this does need to change.. it's an arbitrary number at this point

and is ridiculously low.

[Bettie]

17. YES! It does need to be changed

that would also make the EC more representative until we can get rid of it.

It is absolutely unfair that a voter in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, etc. have more representation than people in more populous states.

[Proud liberal 80]

10. People are moving

They are leaving and going to where the jobs and lower taxes are, that benefits us in a sense that at the state wide election level the ruby red states are becoming more competitive, but they can still gerrymander at the district levels

[uponit7771]

12. Cause blue areas are being chopped up and diluted in red states so they can go to red congressperson

[dutch777]

15. This is a key fight that Dems have to win state by state or we are in big trouble

If gerrymandering can't be stopped, demographics shifting Dem will not be enough to win in many places.
