Following the latest census apportionment forecasts, Republicans are advancing plans for mid-decade redistricting aimed at increasing their representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Florida and Texas are projected to each gain four congressional seats, while California and New York are expected to lose three and two seats respectively. Republicans anticipate a net gain of 14 seats through redistricting efforts across several states, including five seats each in Texas and Florida, two in Ohio, and one each in Missouri and Indiana. In Florida specifically, the current congressional map shows 20 Republican and 8 Democratic seats; the proposed redistricting would shift this balance to 25 Republican and 3 Democratic seats, effectively reducing Democratic representation by five seats. These developments have drawn attention amid broader concerns about partisan gerrymandering and its impact on electoral fairness.
