Election 2022
![This is one of those topics that's a bit in the weeds, but so important for us to understand as we head into the midterm elections. The Supreme Court just ruled in a 5-4 decision that Alabama Republicans can proceed with their congressional redistricting plan, despite a lower court blocking their proposed map. All the conservatives voted in the majority, except for Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberals in their dissent. Back up: Every 10 years, states are allowed to redraw their congressional district maps after the census report. It's often referred to as "Gerrymandering." This is an opportunity for the party in power in the state to add or eliminate Congressional districts favorable to either Democrats or Republicans. For example: In this cycle, states like New York have all but eliminated Republican districts. New York used to have 19 Democrat seats and Republicans had 8. The new map will favor Democrats 22 to 4. In Alabama, the Republican-led government didn't even change the balance of power in its redistricting maps like New York did. It kept it the same: 6 favoring Republicans and 1 favoring Democrats. But Democrats said it was racist that they didn't effectively add a second Democrat seat since the black population in Alabama grew by 4%. ...and the Supreme Court just ruled that argument is ridiculous. The big picture: If we want to retake the House in the midterm elections, we can't let states like New York eliminate GOP House seats and do nothing about it. We need to fight just as cutthroat as Dems are. States like Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are all still working through their redistricting plans. This Supreme Court decision gives them the green light to go for the jugular and not worry about ridiculous accusations of "racism" from Democrats. In the future, I'll be updating you on how you can encourage red states to do what needs to be done.
