"Five states have already redrawn their congressional maps, and many others are considering doing so. GOP map gains Texas: Redistricting efforts passed in the Lone Star state in August could deliver one of the biggest gains for Republicans, with up to five Democratic-held seats at risk. Missouri: The GOP-controlled Senate passed a new map in September aimed at unseating Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), who's serving his tenth term representing the state's fifth congressional district."
"California: Proposition 50 passedin November, allowing the state to replace maps drawn by its independent commission with new lines that could give Democrats as many as five additional House seats. Utah: Republicans currently hold all four state House seats, but a state judge ordered the legislature to redraw congressional lines, saying the current map violated aspects of an anti-gerrymandering measure, giving Democrats the ability to gain one seat."
Several states have enacted or are considering congressional redistricting that could alter House control. Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio adopted or advanced maps designed to increase Republican representation, risking several Democratic-held seats and potentially expanding GOP majorities. Additional Republican-leaning proposals are under consideration in Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Nebraska. California's Proposition 50 allows replacement of independent commission maps and could yield up to five additional Democratic seats. A Utah court-ordered redraw and a judge-adopted map increase Democratic chances to flip one seat. Illinois, Maryland, New York and Virginia are weighing redistricting that could improve Democratic prospects ahead of the midterms.
