POWERFUL pushback is disrupting Trump's plan to rig election with redistricting

Congressional Redistricting & Gerrymandering - Republicans are attempting to secure a congressional majority through gerrymandering, while Democrats are actively resisting [1] - Republicans have gerrymandered their way into seven more House seats nationally: five from Texas, one from Missouri, and one from North Carolina [3] - The motivation behind Republican gerrymandering is to maintain their razor-thin margin in the House and prevent Democrats from taking control [4] - Democrats are filing lawsuits to invalidate gerrymandered maps state by state [5] - California's Prop 50, endorsed by former President Obama, is a direct response to Texas's gerrymandered map and aims to counteract it by potentially netting Democrats five more House seats [6][7] - Activists in Missouri are gathering signatures for a ballot measure to put the Republican's new map to a statewide vote, potentially vetoing its impact on the 2026 midterms if they gather approximately 110,000 signatures by December 11th [13][14] Political Pressure & Resistance - Trump and his allies have been pressuring Republican state lawmakers in Indiana to gerrymander the state's maps [10][11] - Despite pressure from Trump, Indiana's Republican state senate leader's spokesperson indicates that Trump does not have the votes for his plan [12] - If California passes Prop 50, it would offset the five congressional seats Republicans gained in Texas [15] - If activists in Missouri gather enough signatures, they can reclaim the congressional seat Republicans took from them [16] - The only new gerrymandered seat that Democrats don't actively have a plan to cancel out is the one in North Carolina [16]
