Texas approved a new congressional map that would give Republicans five additional U.S. House seats. Other Republican-led states are expected to follow with similar maps while Democratic-led states may respond in kind. Former President Donald Trump celebrated the redistricting trend and predicted large GOP seat gains if two measures are enacted, and he urged ending mail-in voting, calling it a 'total fraud.' Officials note that voter fraud is extremely rare and point to Arizona and Oregon, where mail voting is common, as counterexamples. The president said he would sign an executive order to ensure 'honesty' in the 2026 midterms, though he lacks constitutional authority to force states to abandon mail voting.
"If we do these TWO things, we will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over,"
"Texas never lets us down," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing."
"But Republicans, there is one thing even better," he added, "STOP MAIL-IN VOTING, a total fraud that has no bounds."
