State and federal courts will direct the drawing of some 75 congressional districts in at least seven states in the coming months, marking a new phase in the process before the first 2022 primaries begin
Most states have finished their maps already, butthe coming months, marking a new phase in the process before the first 2022 primaries begin. In the next few weeks alone, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania courts are likely to impose new maps blocking Republican legislators’ attempts to relegate Democrats to small slivers of those congressional delegations.
“It could really be huge,” Rep. Tim Ryan said of the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Republican-drawn map that could have left Democrats with just two of the state’s 15 seats. Ryan predicted a new map could yield as many six seats for his party. Courts are also likely to determine the contours of the maps in Louisiana, where the Democratic governor and Republican legislature are barreling toward a deadlock; Wisconsin, where a similar partisan split has already resulted in a stalemate; and Minnesota, which is the only state legislature in the country where a different party controls the upper and lower chambers.

Democrats were counting on that backstop again.
