    GOP already has enough safe seats — through redistricting alone — to win back House in '22.
    Salon (Left) • Factual Grade 85% • 5 min read

    Only 12 states have completed the process of redrawing congressional district maps based on the 2020 census. But Republicans have already reconfigured enough districts to add five safe seats after completing redistricting in Texas, Iowa, North Carolina and Montana, which would be enough to flip the House majority if nothing else changes.
    ...
    Though Democrats are poised to add safe seats for themselves in states like New York, Illinois and Oregon, Republicans have total control of the redistricting process in states that represent 187 congressional districts while Democrats control just 75. Some of the new maps build on existing districts that were already heavily gerrymandered by Republicans following the 2010 census.
    ...
    Ohio Republicans are pushing a map that would give them 13 of the state's 15 seats in the House, even though Donald Trump won just 53% of the state's vote last year. Republicans in Georgia and New Hampshire have also proposed maps that would add Republican seats.
