US House Redistricting: General
Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers:
It's important to note that Biden won't be stuck in the mid 40s next Nov he will be close to 55 percent and the reason why because there won't be an international Terrorist attack, intifada Arafat, Saddam and Bin Laden are DEAD AND WE HAVE REAL IDS ON PLANES AND FILL BODY SCANNERS
TALIBAN CANT DO A 911 SINCE WE HAVE REAL IFS

If a split goverment can't find a consensus map. How is decided which court gets to draw the maps?
Thinking especially of WI and PA here. Could be a decent difference if the PA/WI supreme court or a federal court gets to draw the maps.

I think it’s always a state court unless it’s a federal law (read VRA) issue

The democratization of the redistricting process doesn't receive enough attention, I think:
Americans are participating in redistricting like never before
Quote
The number of Americans who have engaged with state legislatures and independent commissions working to redraw political boundary lines in the decennial redistricting process has hit vertiginous new heights as voters inundate mapmakers with proposals, suggestions and objections.
In Washington state, the independent redistricting commission has received input from about 7,000 people, either through emailed comments or participation in virtual town hall meetings, a threefold increase compared to the last redistricting process a decade ago.
Of those, state residents have submitted 1,300 proposed maps of their own. Seventy of those maps have qualified as third-party recommendations that commissioners will consider.
In California, where the independent redistricting commission still has six weeks to go before a deadline to finalize new district maps, more than 13,000 comments have been submitted. In the entirety of the last three-month redistricting process, California's commission received about 20,000 comments and suggestions.
In Michigan, 9,000 people applied to sit on a new redistricting commission, and those who were chosen have received more than 10,000 comments already, a decade after the legislature did not accept comments at all. The website Utah residents can use to submit comments on proposed district maps was so overwhelmed earlier this week that the server crashed.
"It's very clear that there is a lot of public engagement everywhere," said Sam Wang, who heads the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, a nonpartisan group that tracks and monitors redistricting efforts across the nation. "Citizens are much more engaged than before."
