Trump’s Texas Victory Sparks Nationwide Redistricting War!

The 2020 elec­tion con­tin­ues to shape today’s polit­i­cal bat­tles, with Ful­ton Coun­ty com­mis­sion­ers defy­ing a court order to block Jason Fraiz­er and Julie Adams from the elec­tion board, risk­ing con­tempt of court. Mean­while, Trump cel­e­brates Texas’ redis­trict­ing win, aim­ing to secure 100 more GOP con­gres­sion­al seats by tar­get­ing under­rep­re­sent­ed Repub­li­can votes in blue states. Texas’ new maps, based on polit­i­cal per­for­mance, face immi­nent legal chal­lenges. States like Mis­souri, Flori­da, Indi­ana, Illi­nois, New York, New Jer­sey, and Mary­land are also explor­ing redis­trict­ing, while Cal­i­for­nia Democ­rats push for a ref­er­en­dum to redis­trict in mid-decade, despite GOP law­suits and a Cal­i­for­nia Supreme Court rul­ing allow­ing the effort. Backed by Oba­ma, Newsom’s plan aims to counter GOP ger­ry­man­der­ing. The fight for fair rep­re­sen­ta­tion inten­si­fies as Repub­li­cans push to exclude non-cit­i­zens from the 2030 cen­sus count, seek­ing stronger House and Sen­ate con­trol.

• Every­thing that is hap­pen­ing today all goes back to 2020. The fear that Ful­ton coun­ty com­mis­sion­ers have of putting Jason Fraiz­er and Julie Adams on the elec­tion board. The com­mis­sion­ers are in con­tempt of court for vio­lat­ing a court order. What will hap­pen now? 
• Trump cel­e­brates Texas win as a path to gain­ing 100 more con­gres­sion­al seats and reveals which state he plans to save next. If you go through the blue states and you look at the per­cent­age that Repub­li­cans receive in vot­ing com­pared to the rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the state, you will see that repub­li­cans are not rep­re­sent­ed in those states. Keep in mind we are dis­cussing rep­re­sen­ta­tion in con­gress. In Texas they are talk­ing about polit­i­cal per­for­mance. Texas is fol­low­ing the con­sti­tu­tion, say­ing that they are redis­trict­ing based on the polit­i­cal per­for­mance of the vote. As soon as the Texas new con­gres­sion­al maps are in place, it will go to court. 
• The states of Mis­souri, Flori­da, Indi­ana, Illi­nois, New York, New Jer­sey, Mary­land are look­ing at redis­trict­ing also. Cal­i­for­nia is plan­ning to redis­trict. Cal­i­for­nia has a redis­trict­ing com­mit­tee. They have to put a ref­er­en­dum on the bal­lot to change the con­sti­tu­tion to redis­trict mid-decade. The Cal­i­for­nia GOP law­mak­ers sue and stall and block the new map from pass­ing. Cal­i­for­nia Supreme court declines to halt dem-led ger­ry­man­der­ing efforts in the state. Oba­ma endors­es Newsom’s redis­trict­ing pro­pos­al as a respon­si­ble approach. 
• We have to get a strong enough con­trol in the house and sen­ate and we have to get it to where we don’t count ille­gals in 2030.
