Republicans Losing Redistricting Battle to Aggressive Democrats

---

Misleading clickbait.

quote:

---

With Republican state legislatures in control of reshaping 187 districts while Democrats only control 75, Republican legislatures had an opportunity to wreak havoc on Democrat-leaning districts, splitting them up with district lines that benefit Republican candidates.

---

State law prevents this in alot of circumstances.

quote:

---

The reports have indicated Democrat legislatures are aggressively drawing lines in states such as Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon, Maryland, California, New Jersey, Nevada, and likely New York,

---

Illinois and Oregon are the only two that would been considered "aggressive" to an objective observer. Some of those are also drawn by independent commissions--not sure what you wanted the GOP to do in those instances.

The GOP has done pretty well for itself in NC, aligning 11 of the 14 districts to be GOP-held, as well as Texas where it solidified most of those purple leaning seats. The GOP also drew a favorable new map in AZ

quote:

---

while Republican legislatures have failed to draw strong lines in Missouri, Indiana, and Georgia.

---

Missouri does not have a new map yet. Georgia's is an improvement over the current map and should result in the GOP gaining an additional seat. What exactly did you want from Indiana--them to totally remove the blue districts somehow? It is also an improvement for the GOP, as it moved a tossup district into the red column north of Indy.

OP, point to a state specifically where the GOP has failed to redistrict according to your liking? The ones listed in the article ain't it.
