+5 Republican seats in one state is absolutely massive. It could dictate if Trump keeps his trifecta. pic.twitter.com/nt8tAl37qZ

Hakeem Jeffries recently tried to make the case that Republican redistricting is “a scheme to rig elections.” Democrat redistricting is to “maximize fairness.”
Redistricting has always been the province of the party in power. It’s typically done, but Democrats want to be the only ones doing it.

Gerrymandering has always been used by the political party in control of a state’s legislature and it has always been done to give that party the advantage in redistricting. It only became a problem when Republicans are able to do it.
