Is anybody keeping count of the States redistricting?

Just looking at various reports, it seems like the Republicans are ahead and could keep Congress with a smaller percentage of the total votes.

I think there’s just too much anti MAGA momentum for it to matter this year. Going forward though I am worried because I expect any red state to completely redraw Democrats out of representation except in blue wave type years. One thing it will do is by putting more blue voters in red districts it will make some races more competitive than they would’ve been so it could backfire on them this year.

I worry they will keep the House too. Maybe checking the betting markets will enable some degree of hope.

Andy maybe at least Susan Collins will lose.
