Court fights, intraparty strife and governors opposing legislatures mean that four states have yet to enact 2022 congressional maps
Spats between governors and state legislators — and between different Republican factions — have brought map-making to a standstill in the final four states still without new congressional lines for the 2022 elections. With filing deadlines looming, 44 House seats are still outstanding in Louisiana, New Hampshire, Missouri and, most importantly, Florida, which has 28 districts all by itself.
“Redistricting is a messy process,” said Adam Kincaid, the executive director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust. ”This is a messy, messy process and things change on a dime. And the unexpected happens regularly.” The legislature’s map, approved largely along party lines and under pressure from DeSantis, would dismantle the 200-mile North Florida congressional district now held by Democratic Rep.but create a smaller Black opportunity district in Jacksonville instead of stretching from there to Tallahassee. However, DeSantis, contends that the map proposed by the Legislature violates U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
Edwards, the Democratic governor, rejected the GOP legislature’s redistricting proposal on March 9 because it did not create a second Black opportunity district. At stake here is whether Democrats net another seat in Louisiana or whether the delegation remains split between five Republicans and Democratic Rep.. Carter supports the push to add a second Black member of the delegation — but only, he said, if it’s done carefully to make sure both districts had a substantial number of Black voters in each district.
But a weeks-long standoff broke on Thursday after a bipartisan vote on a map that would reliably elect six Republicans and two Democrats. It also made Rep.This is a loss for those advocating to relegate Democrats to just one of the state’s eight congressional seats. That group includes Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, two U.S. Senate candidates and a host of conservative state senators.
