There's also absolutely no movement toward redistricting reform in Republican controlled states outside of ballot initiatives.   Democratic legislatures actually have passed redistricting reform both as ballot questions and through the legislatures like in Virginia, New York, and now one in New Mexico.

Republicans seem intent on utilizing their power to maximize seats at any cost really.   I think this is because they understand that they can't win with fair maps everywhere,  they'd probably end up at a disadvantage if there was no gerrymandering, which is kinda pathetic if you think about it.

The Class 2 Senate map naturally favors Republicans in regards to the raw total vote with so many southern states and no NY or CA.

Class 1 favors Democrats in the raw vote due to so many northeastern states and much fewer southern ones.

Class 3 is kinda a wash between the two parties.

I believe Republicans won both of the last class two elections (2014, 2020) just by the nature of the map.   It'd take an election like 2008 for Democrats to win the raw total vote on that map, which obviously won't happen often.
