Republicans Admit That Gerrymandering Won’t Save Their House Majority

Texas Republicans are poised to unveil their newly revised gerrymandered map as early as today. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to engage with the state’s Democratic representatives in the Lone Star State.

The latest iteration of the Texas gerrymander is yet another brainchild of the Trump administration, but even Republican insiders are starting to voice concerns.

According to Politico:

However, astute Republicans privately acknowledge that relying solely on redistricting to secure victories in the midterms is not a viable strategy.

“If we’re depending on gerrymandering to maintain our majorities, we may have deeper issues,” remarked a Republican operative closely aligned with the White House and involved in Senate and House campaigns. Nonetheless, this operative defended the practice: “Honestly, [Democrats] engage in it too, so we’re just giving them a taste of their own medicine.”

Historically speaking, it was not the Democrats who ignited the contemporary wave of gerrymandering.

As perBrookings:

Following the 2010 Census, Republicans outmaneuvered Democrats in redistricting efforts, executing a strategic plan known as REDMAP—Redistricting Majority Project. Utilizing advanced software, they crafted district lines that favored their candidates, effectively converting their robust performance in gubernatorial and legislative elections into electoral advantages. This was compounded by the geographic concentration of Democratic voters in urban areas, enabling Republicans to translate votes into House seats more effectively. An illustrative anomaly occurred in 2012, when Republicans secured a commanding majority of 234 seats despite losing the national popular vote.

The same Brookings analysis concurs with the sentiment expressed by Republicans to Politico: gerrymandering does not significantly sway overall election outcomes.

However, the more pressing concern extends beyond mere election results—it lies in safeguarding the voting rights of every eligible citizen, regardless of their geographic location. Gerrymandering’s detrimental impact manifests in the dilution of individual votes, effectively reducing the weight of citizens’ voices within our democracy.

While gerrymandering may not secure the Republican majority in the House, it undeniably undermines democratic principles and diminishes the power of the populace.

What are your thoughts on Republicans acknowledging their inability to rig the electoral map for victory? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments below.
