Part 10/12:
The Fight to Save Democratic Representation
Other states like Nebraska and Indiana are also in the process of redistricting, with indications that Republicans aim to redraw districts in a way that could eliminate Democratic seats. In Nebraska, the upcoming redrawing of the first district—vacated by Republican Don Bacon—could determine whether Democrats have a chance to hold onto a pivotal seat. Similarly, Indiana is considering redistricting efforts that threaten to erase Democratic incumbents.
This strategic redistricting is viewed by many as a deliberate attempt to consolidate power rather than a neutral process. The question remains whether courts and legislative bodies will uphold or push back against these practices.
