💨 Abstract

Republican and Democratic parties are fiercely competing over congressional redistricting to gain an advantage ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Texas is a key focus, with Republicans aiming to secure five additional GOP seats through gerrymandering. Democrats are countering by preventing the necessary quorum for a vote by leaving the state. Efforts to redistrict are also being considered in states like Maryland, California, Illinois, and New York.
