#NEW: A majority of Trump-backed primary challengers beat Indiana GOP state senators who opposed redrawing the state’s congressional map last year. thehill.com/homenews/campa…

We have results at the moment from 5 of the Indiana senate districts featuring GOP incumbents who opposed redistricting. (No district is even half-reporting.) Across these 5 races, only one incumbent is up (SD38). Two others are trailing by 1-2%. And two are trailing by 20%.

NBC has called the first loss of the Indiana Senate Primaries for an incumbent and I fully agree. Travis Holdman (R-Markle), a member of leadership, is defeated by Trump backed Blake Fiechter

@jen_rice_ It’s a group chat

I like to think everyone needs to have that one friend who is always texting "things are soo bad right now"

An update on a potential redistricting effort in South Carolina. A two-thirds vote in both chambers of the South Carolina legislature would be needed for this to be an option.

NEW: The Black voters in Callais have filed a motion asking the Supreme Court to recall the issuance of the judgment in the case saying they intend to file a motion for reconsideration. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/2…

Then and now. So back in 2022, when the original Louisiana map was struck down 5.5 months before the election, Louisiana argued to SCOTUS for *eight* pages that it was too close to the election to change the map. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/2…

@RepJoeMorelle will meet with @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins & Spkr Heastie today to discuss a 2027 state constitutional redistricting amendment @RedistrictNet

@jen_rice_ You could have spent a whole week covering a Florida redistricting case in Key West but ya'll filed in Tallahassee 🙄

What we're living through right now is insane

BREAKING: Campaign Legal Center is suing to block Florida’s new illegal congressional map. The new map was drawn with the explicit goal of eliminating districts held by one political party — directly violating the state constitution: campaignlegal.org/update/campaig…

BREAKING: SCOTUS grants the Callais plaintiffs' request to issue the judgment now, meaning the ruling goes into effect and back to the district court immediately. This was done over a strong dissent from Jackson — prompting Alito (w Thomas & Gorsuch) to author an opinion concurring with the grant.

Yeah, they need to do this to keep a new congressional map from being legally vulnerable. Expect a two step process in Tennessee.

After public testimony Friday, Kleinpeter said his committee will meet again early next week to vote on a map. Kleinpeter indicated the remaining majority-Black district would likely be based in Baton Rouge, which favors the current 6th District U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields (D).

Louisiana lawmakers will begin the work of adopting a new congressional map on Friday. The Chair (R) of the committee overseeing redistricting predicted dropping to a single majority Black district that would be based in Baton Rouge #lalege #lagov lailluminator.com/2026/05/04/lou…

Court files show that the lawsuit challenging the congressional map pushed by @GovRonDeSantis has been assigned to Judge J Lee Marsh, who was first appointed to the bench by then-Gov. Rick Scott. Marsh is up for re-election this August.

Plaintiffs assert that the new Florida congressional map violates the state constitution’s ban on partisan gerrymandering and non-compactness, and the state constitution’s requirement to use political and geographic boundaries to draw new districts.

AG Marshall and SOS Wes Allen file an emergency motion with an appellate court to lift a block on Alabama using its 2021 STATE Senate map. #ALPolitics
