Democrats are poised to finish several seats behind Republicans in 2026 in the nationwide race to redraw maps for the U.S. House.
They can catch up in 2028, but only if they overcome a series of redistricting hurdles that the GOP does not face.
That’s because Democrats, in many states, can draw partisan political lines only if they evade constraints — some self-imposed — on their ability to counterpunch.
“Democrats face hurdles Republicans don’t” is the national motto now, isn’t it?
It’s too bad Ds are trying to remove those hurdles by being more like Rs.

Out of curiosity, in what way do you mean they are being more like Rs? I’m hoping you are not referring to their attempts at matching the R’s redistricting tactis.
No, no - just the bog standard Overton window shit.
What other options do they have?
Remove districts, they’re mostly meaningless anyway and their purpose now seems to be focused on retaining power. The top x votes get the seats, forcing each party to field multiple candidates.
Surprise
