Scramble to Redraw House Maps Sparks Backlash

National party leaders are scrambling to redraw more U.S. House maps before next year’s midterms, but face legal hurdles and rebellion from their own ranks. In Kansas, Republicans seek a special session to bypass Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and imperil Rep. Sharice Davids’ seat, drawing GOP dissent. Democrats pursue changes in Virginia, Illinois, New York and Maryland amid intra-party pushback. Republicans have already added seven potential seats in Texas, Missouri and North Carolina, while Indiana and Louisiana weigh new moves. Analysts warn the fight may reshape politics for years, opening a ‘Pandora’s box’ of perpetual remapping.
