So, here's how redistricting and, in some cases, gerrymandering, helped the Republicans take the House:
Again, Republicans had full control over redistricting in 17 states (AL, AR, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, MS, MO, NE, NH, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX and WV).
Again, Republicans had full control over redistricting in 17 states (AL, AR, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, MS, MO, NE, NH, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX and WV).
Democrats had full control over redistricting in 7 states (IL, MD, MA, NV, NM, OR and RI).
There were 3 states in which an Independent Commission drew the lines but Republicans could override them (IA, OH and UT).
There were 3 states in which an Independent Commission drew the lines but Republicans could override them (IA, OH and UT).
And there was 1 state in which an Independent Commission drew the lines but Democrats could override them (NY).
Because of the 2020 Census, CA, IL, MI, NY, OH, PA and WV all lost House seats.

Republicans flip the much-litigated #FL04, with Aaron Bean (R) scoring an easy pickup in a seat that is no longer racially gerrymandered.

And per the NYT, R's have also flipped #FL07, a suburban Orlando seat that moderate Dem Stephanie Murphy (D) bailed on, criticizing her party's direction.

The AP has called #FL11 GOP primary for Rep. Dan Webster. The longest-serving state legislator in FL history and its first GOP state House speaker since Reconstruction turns back far-right activist Laura Loomer in shockingly tight contest.
Over in GOP primary for open and dark red #OK02, former state Sen. Josh Brecheen leads state Rep. Avery Frix 54.5-45.5. Group affiliated with Club for Growth spent heavily for Brecheen, a former Club fellow.
AP calls #FL13 GOP primary for Trump's candidate, 2020 nominee Anna Paulina Luna. She'll face former DoD official Eric Lynn in seat GOP gerrymandered into 53-46 Trump.
Polls have closed in most of Florida, where a huge amount of votes usually start coming in early; Oklahoma is at 8 PM ET/ 7 local time, New York 9 ET. We'll be liveblogging the results and tweeting here dailykos.com/stories/2022/8…

3rd term Central #FL07 Democratic Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, co-chair of the centrist Blue Dog Democrats' Coalition, annonces she won't seek re-election to the House next year.
Pelosi: "Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy is a valued Member of Congress, whose leadership has advanced jobs, security and opportunity in her district, for Florida and across the nation."
Pelosi on Murphy: "As an immigrant and the first Vietnamese-American woman to serve in the Congress, she has been an inspiration to young women in America."
The Florida state Senate has released four proposed congressional maps. Up and analyzed on @FiveThirtyEight: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-… 
@FiveThirtyEight The four maps are very similar. All create 14 🔴 seats, 8 🔵 seats, and 6 🟣 seats. They have a mild GOP bias, but it's pretty shocking Republicans didn't try to gerrymander them further. They left a lot of seats on the table. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…
NEW: FL's Senate Rs release four draft congressional maps. Bizarre: these maps shore up #FL27 Rep. Maria Salazar (R), but otherwise are barely gerrymanders. By my count these maps break down 16-12 Trump-Biden, vs. 15-12 today. Is this a head fake?
New @CookPolitical: just when Florida Dems thought it couldn't get any worse, it's about to. Why FL is the GOP's biggest redistricting weapon of 2022. cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…
Thanks to the FL Supreme Court's hard right turn, Republicans could stretch their current 16R-11D lead in House seats (left) to as wide as 19R-9D (example, right) - erasing most of Dems' current House margin.
The reason? Unlike maps in other large states the GOP controls (TX, GA, OH), the current FL map isn't already a Republican gerrymander. It was redrawn by courts in 2016 after a more liberal FL Supreme Court struck down the GOP's 2011 map. Now, Dems are in big trouble.
FLORIDA: if you thought things couldn't get worse for Dems...it can. FL could be the GOP's biggest redistricting weapon of 2021.
FL is poised to gain two seats. At a minimum, Rs could easily add two new safe R seats (right) to the current 16R-11D map (left). But...
FL is poised to gain two seats. At a minimum, Rs could easily add two new safe R seats (right) to the current 16R-11D map (left). But...
Because the FL Sup Ct has turned sharply right since 2015, Rs could be even more aggressive - in defiance of FL's Fair Districts amendments.
At the extreme end, Rs could attempt a 21R-8D gerrymander (below), which could cost Dems almost their entire House majority.

In my view, Trump’s worst nightmare Dem challenger in ‘20 would possess the following traits:
1) young & charismatic
2) female
3) aspirational life story
4) natsec background
5) no lengthy pol record
By process of elimination, I’m arriving at #FL07 Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D).

A caveat: this is all under the assumption new members (Spanberger/Sherrill/Slotkin etc.) wouldn’t turn around & run for POTUS just months after getting elected for the first time.
Another caveat, as many have pointed out: Murphy was born in Vietnam.

In June, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez backed a candidate primarying Stephanie Murphy for her seat in the House repoing the #FL07.
Murphy is the first Vietnamese woman to be elected to the House.
Her politics align with her district.
It’s... umm... not close.

Regardless of your personal politics, there’s no denying that the “farther left wins anywhere” narrative has been pummeled into the ground since AOC’s win in a D+29 district.
Also undeniable AOC isn’t a kingmaker.
Neither made sense then. No shock they haven’t proven true.

p.s. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez endorsed one other House candidate in today’s Florida primaries.
Michael Hepburn.

AOC’s Justice Dems went 0-for-3 in contested primaries. None of their candidates were competitive.
