Redistricting Showdown: Which States Could Redraw Maps Before 2026?

A redistricting battle is spreading beyond Texas, with seven other states eyeing changes to their congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. Ohio is already set to redraw its lines, potentially giving Republicans an even larger majority in the state’s delegation. California and New York are exploring ways to gain more Democratic seats, while Florida, Indiana, and Missouri are weighing GOP-friendly shifts. Even New Jersey is on the list, though constitutional barriers may keep changes from happening before Election Day. The moves could reshape the balance of power in the U.S. House — and both parties are racing to secure every advantage before voters head to the polls.
