No matter, gerrymandering won’t save the republicans from losing control of the house next year.

Despite redistricting, I expect Dems to pick up a net of 20-30 seats in the midterms, maybe more depending on the economy.

6. *Because* of redistricting, I expect Dems to pick up more

I think their gerrymander's gonna bite them in the ass; they've had to water down a lot of R+15 seats to create more R+5 seats and in a 50-50 year it would work well for them. If things continue as they are or worsen, 2026 won't be close to a 50-50 year. R+5 planning won't save them from a D+10 national shift.

I told him in no uncertain terms that HOOSIERS DON'T CHEAT

"YOU REPRESENT HOOSIERS, NOT DC INSIDERS. STAND STRONG AND STOP THEIR RIGGED REDISTRICTING SCHEME."

Probably won't do any good, but I feel better.
