Lightning-fast partisan redistricting reflects new America

One evening on social media, President Trump, who wrote about a highly partisan war that could reshape American political power for generations, was coming.

Büyük Do not win for the Great Texas Province !!! Everything went to five congress seats and to save your rights, freedoms and your country, ”Trump pushed a reorganization plan designed to win more republican seats of the country’s most crowded red state in the Congress and designed to win more republican seats in the 2026 intermediate direction.

“Texas never disappoints us. Florida, Indiana and others want to do the same thing,” Trump wrote – Potential proliferation Such efforts throughout the country.

The next day, Gov. Gavin Newsom – Reflecting a new Swagger as Trump’s chief antagonist – he stopped with other MPs of the country’s most crowded blue state in order to announce his own legislative success in putting a reorganized congress map for voters and voters strongly supporting the democrats.

“We came here because the United States President is one of the most popular presidents in the history of the United States,” Newsom said, California gathered his efforts as a defensive instead of the attacker. “We came here because he realizes that he will lose the election, [and that] The Congress will be taken into the hands of the Democratic Party in November next November. “

Last week, at the speed of lightning, the country’s most important political leaders, some politicians and a Partisan War, which has many political observers interested in the future of American democracy, is a voter notion of voter-and-selected voter-and-selected voter.

Texas state representative, a democrat from the Houston region, said in a call to journalists, “If people do not stand up, America is turning to the real authoritarian rule”.

The restructuring races began with Trump, whose approval ratings had fallen, and forced them to manipulate maps to secure more house chairs for Republicans to manipulate, so that a hostile house would not encounter the majority of a hostile house in the second half. When Newsom and other California leaders said they wouldn’t be idle and started to work to put a new map on the November Vote Compass, voters officially asked voters to jump the independent redistribution commission of the state to resist Trump’s Gambit in Texas.

Only these two states are home to about 70 million Americans, but the fight there is very unlimited. As Trump suggested, other states are watching whether they will continue to draw the lines-the possibility of a country that has been divided more than ever than ever, and the sound of millions of minority party voters are erased in congress halls.

Of course, Gerrymandering is not new and there are already in many states of the country. However, experts said that the last redistribution race is brave, Unapologist and two -party bending is something new and different. Trump is a clear product of the new America, where the political war is more and more attached to the long -standing political norms, and that the leaders of both political parties seem to be ambitious and willing to throw aside to pursue power.

The Trump campaign trail promised a new “Golden Age ve, and for a long time his goal was to return America to a larger, more willing and proud past. At the same time, he also pointed to the intention of manipulating the political system to further strengthen itself and other republicans through other measures aimed at terminating post-in voting compasses or restricting voter’s participation, whether again and almost no uncertainty.

“You don’t have to vote again in four years, Tr Trump said, a little longer than a year, a Christian crowd of an evangelical Christian crowd, thick of the presidential campaign. “We’ll make it correct, you won’t have to vote.”

‘There is no democracy left’

Considering the potential effects to reshape the congress and strengthen Trump in the second period, he ruled political news for weeks.

Sam Wang for years, President of the Princeton University Election Innovation Laboratory, said Gerrymandering for years, but during the media call with Wu, he did not receive any more than the last few weeks he had filled with questions from the world.

Wang said that Gerrymandering has reached a high point more than a decade ago, but has fallen due to court wars and state legislative organs, which set up independent commissions to draw regional lines.

But now, Texas and California’s efforts threaten progress and things to a “new low point ,, he said that some voters have been deprived of the rights of some voters, and that Wang’s 1965 voting rights can be prepared for the weakening of the conservative Supreme Court.

Wu said that it is a dangerous precedent to allow politicians to restore the congress lines when they want to olmak making sure that they have never lost ”forms a dangerous precedent to deprive minority voters from their rights – because“ politicians and leaders will no longer listen to people ”.

“There would be no democracy left,” he said.

However, Wu made a sharp distinction between the Maps that redefine unilateral maps among the Texas Republicans and the advantage of Trump – partly “hacked” – and made a sharp distinction between California.

“California is defending the country,” he said. “Texas is doing something illegal.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott It took the opposition positionWhen he said that the new map of Texas was constitutional, California’s “a joke ve and probably would be toppled. He also implies efforts to add more home seats for the party in other state -led states.

“Republicans are not over in the United States, Ab Abbott said.

Two legal experts about his call, especially in Texas, expressed serious concerns with such a partisanism.

The Legal Defense Fund or LDF and Deputy Lawyer Sara Rohani said that the promises of the law of voting laws for the black and other minority groups of the establishment have been fighting for decades to ensure that they are not violated by unscrupulous and racist political leaders in the search for power.

“Fair representation in this country is not optional. All Americans [have] Equal voting power ..

However, “Color voters were excluded”, this promise, both before and after the passing of the Voting Law Law, and “In 2025, it is clear that our struggle for fair maps continued”.

In recent years, great victories have been won in courts in the states such as Alabama and Louisiana, and these wars will only continue. In particular, he asked if his group was preparing to sue on the maps of Texas, Rohani Demurned – but did not withdraw, saying that LDF would be involved in any field of judicial fields in which black voters were targeted ”.

Thomas Saenz, the President of the Mexico American Law Defense and Training Fund and general advisor, said that there would be difficulties for Texas’s maps.

With his own assumptions, Saenz said that Texas deputies restarted their maps in 2021 to maximize the advantage of the republic in the congress races – the only limits were brought by the Vote Rights Law. This is now that they need to violate the law of voting rights, ”he said to win more seats.

The Texas Republicans claimed that the Ministry of Justice had acted in response to a warning that their existing maps were illegal since 2021. However, Saenz stated that the Ministry of Justice left a lawsuit that challenged these maps when Trump started to work – that is, any threat to the case was an empty maneuver and “clearly arranged with a target of Donald Trump”.

Is there a legal case?

The fate of any legal difficulty in redistribution efforts is uncertain because it becomes much more difficult for Gerrymandering to challenge in court.

In 2019, the Supreme Court claimed that the Partizan State election maps were contrary to the constitution. Chief Justice John G. Roberts said that such a regional line line is “offering political questions” and that it was not a reliable “legal standard” to decide that it was fair and fair.

It wasn’t a new view for Roberts.

In 2006, shortly after joining the court, justice refused to challenge a challenge for the mid-decade designed by the Texas Republicans, but ordered to rewish one of the voters to another Latin-Leaning region over the state-Roberts’ opposition.

Roberts, at the time, expressed disappointment, “This is a Rudid business, this is the race that separates us” wrote.

Some legal experts say that if there is a danger of losing the seats of black or Latin deputies, the new Texas redistribution may face a legal difficulty. However, the Supreme Court conservatives gave such allegations signs that they could reduce the scope of the Voting Rights Law.

In March, justice thought of a Louisiana case to decide whether the state would create a second congress zone to comply with the voting law of voting rights, and if so it decided how to draw.

However, the court could not make a decision. Instead, on August 1, the Court said that this autumn would hear more argument as to violate the Constitution of the second majority-warning congress zone this autumn this autumn.

Justice Clarence Thomas for a long time, regardless of the Voting Rights Law, it is contrary to the constitution to draw election zones based on racial lines, and now have the majority that has the same agreement with it.

If so, such a decision may silence the allegations of discrimination from black and Latin deputies in Texas or other places – Partizan Gerrymandering can even clean the way.

Forward view

Given the intensity of the war and the uncertainty of the relevant legal difficulties, many of the best political leaders of America are thinking of the future. They fight today – they focus on shaking the perception of the people.

In a Youtube live video with thousands of supporters on Thursday, Newsom said that Trump hoped that he did not believe in the rule of law – believes in the rule of Don ”and“ more Americans surprise what is dangerous ”.

Newsom said Trump expects the democrats to be overthrown and buy only when he made a phone call to Greg Abbott in Texas to make elections in Texas. On the other hand, the Democrats said that they should stop thinking if we should not play hardball or if we should, and focus on “how we play Hardball”.

On Friday, Newsom said that he was “very proud of the legislature to move fast” against Texas and that voters will support the votes to change the state’s maps, although the voters showed a still start to the campaign.

A UC Berkeley Government Research Survey for Times said that they would vote in favor of temporary Gerrymandering efforts, although 48% of voters are undecided.

When asked if he encouraged democratic leaders in other states to reconsider their maps, he said that both the Illinois government JB Pritzker and the New York government Kathy Hochul may be willing to do so.

“Your actions [the California] The Legislative Assembly will inspire other legislature leaders to meet this moment, to save this democracy, and to stop its ongoing actions to fully destroy and encourage our constitution and its constitution and democratic principles. ”
