Republicans have been more successful than Democrats since 2010 at gerrymandering congressional districts to their advantage. In Alabama, the U.S. Supreme Court forced officials to redraw the map to add one majority Black (and therefore Democratic-leaning) district. In New York, Democrats are trying to redraw the map to flip several seats. If everything goes Democrats’ way, roughly 10 House seats could become meaningfully easier to win. In North Carolina, a ruling from the state’s Supreme Court will allow Republican lawmakers to redraw the map to move several seats their way.
