#Indiana #Republican Gov #MikeBraun called Monday for state lawmakers to return to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the state’s congressional map.
#Trump has pressured Republican governors nationwide to draw new maps so the #GOP can keep control of the #House in the #midterms. While #Republicans in #Texas, #Missouri & #NorthCarolina moved quickly to obey their #DearLeader, Indiana lawmakers have been more hesitant.

#Virginia state Supreme Court strikes down #Democrats' redrawn #US #House maps, giving #Republicans win
The court ruled 4-3 that the state’s Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot to authorize the mid-decade #redistricting. #Voters approved the amendment April 21, but the court’s ruling renders the results of that #vote meaningless.

#SCOTUS set the stage for #Alabama to get rid of 1 of 2 largely #Black congressional districts before this year’s #midterms, creating an opening for #Republicans to gain an additional #US #House seat in a closely divided chamber.
The decision follows a SCOTUS ruling that struck down a majority-Black US House district in #Louisiana as an “unconstitutional” #RacialGerrymander, significantly weakening the federal #VotingRights Act.
