Es wird prognostiziert, dass die GOP durch gesetzgeberische Neuverteilung der Wahlbezirke +8 bis +10 Sitze im US-Repräsentantenhaus erhalten wird, sobald die neuen Kongresspläne fertiggestellt sind. Rechtliche Herausforderungen können dennoch dazu führen, dass einige Karten zunichte gemacht werden.
Geografisch gesehen konzentrieren sich die meisten prognostizierten GOP-Zuwächse auf die Bundesstaaten des tiefen Südens, die eine lange Geschichte von Rechtsstreitigkeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Stimmrechtsgesetz haben. Einige der wichtigsten Sitzplätze stammen aus Bezirken, die zuvor zur Vertretung der Schwarzen gegründet wurden (z. B. TN, AL und LA).
Alle Staaten, die ihre Sitze zugunsten der Demokraten neu verteilten, taten dies anhand einer von den Wählern genehmigten Karte.
Alle Bundesstaaten, die ihre Wahlbezirke zugunsten der Republikaner umverteilten, taten dies durch die gesetzgebende Körperschaft des Bundesstaates oder durch die Aufhebung einer vom Wähler genehmigten Karte durch die Gerichte.
Werkzeuge:
Von Hand in React + TypeScript erstellt – das Zeitleistendiagramm und das US-Choropleth sind rohe SVG-Dateien (keine D3- oder Diagrammbibliotheken; Zustandsformen aus einer gemeinfreien Wikimedia-Karte), gesteuert durch eine JSON-Datei mit Umverteilungsereignissen, mit Live-Polymarket-Quoten als einzigen dynamischen Daten.
Methodik:
Geschätzte Sitzauswirkungen für jede erlassene, gerichtlich genehmigte oder vom Wähler genehmigte Kongressumverteilungsmaßnahme im Vergleich zur vorherigen Karte. Ohio wird mit 0–2 GOP-Sitzen angezeigt, da zuvor sichere demokratische Bezirke eher zu Unstimmigkeiten als zu garantierten GOP-Pickups wurden. Dies ist eine isolierte Analyse von Staaten, die Karten geändert haben, und keine vollständige Prognose des Repräsentantenhauses für 2026. Zur Bestätigung des Vertrauens wurden aktuelle Nachrichten und Polymarket-Daten verwendet.

It remains to be seen if all the states who did redistricting spread themselves too thin. This applies to both left and right. Ive read that is people actually show up to vote the extreme gerrymandering would be favorable for the opposite party.
The nature of the parties means the Republicans have more red states than the Democrats have blue states.
Once Republicans decided to go down this route of extreme, the Democrats were always going to struggle systemically to keep up even if they were as ruthless (which they ain’t).
Again and again, the failure of swing voters in swing states to punish Republican anti-democratic behavior allows them to steadily demolish our republic. They have no reason not to be as partisan as possible if there is no consequence anywhere.
Data sources:
Texas Tribune, Ohio Capital Journal, CalMatters, PBS, AP, BBC, WSJ, state court rulings, legislative actions, and other cited sources listed in the visualization.
Tools:
Built by hand in React + TypeScript — the timeline chart and US choropleth are raw SVG (no D3 or charting libraries; state shapes from a public-domain Wikimedia map), driven by a JSON file of redistricting events, with live Polymarket odds as the only dynamic data.
Methodology:
Estimated seat impact for each enacted, court-approved, or voter-approved congressional redistricting action relative to the prior map. Ohio is shown as 0–2 GOP seats because previously safe Democratic districts became toss-ups rather than guaranteed GOP pickups. This is an isolated analysis of states that changed maps and is not a full 2026 House forecast. Use actual news stories and Polymarket data to corroborate confidence.
Notice how often the Supreme Court is behind these victories
I can only hope that they thin out their majority over many districts that this bites them back and they lose in places they didn’t expect.
When one side plays by the rules and the other side makes their own rules
And it will only continue to get worse after the 2030 census.
Called data is beautiful but it is arguably the single worst thing to happen to American politics in the last decade.
Probably the worst since they killed floor amendments as thing.
The political donors decide who wins.
Let the unintended consequences roll.
These people can’t think a half step ahead.
Since this is a repost I’ll just repost my comment giving clarifying context to the data that is being mis-represented in the OP:
Just as people point to the population maps to say „land doesn’t vote“ when shown county maps by party, I’m going to point out that 5 year old polls don’t vote.
I’d invite anyone looking at this data to review the term [dummymander](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dummymander), because a lot of the Republican re-districts heavilly relied on a swing in the Latino vote (and some single-issue indpendents) that they are not going to re-capture.
> All states redistricting in favor of Democrats did so through a voter-approved map.
> All states redistricting in favor of Republicans did so through the state legislature or through the courts overturning a voter-approved map.
Wow. That… that says a LOT.
Gerrymandering in all cases is wrong. Full stop. No wiggle room.
Of course they did. They been cheatin like this for decades at this point = WAY more experience.
The gerrymandering was done based on the 24 elections. There is a good chance that it will backfire.
Still we all lost.
This is not how democracy should work.
If you think things are authoritarian now.
Democrats can do more with a lower risk of dummymandering but are choosing not to
Nothing beautiful about this. GOP is spreading their undeserved influence like a cancer
When the GOP wins (anything), America loses.
>All states redistricting in favor of Democrats did so through a voter-approved map.

Yup.
This is not how a healthy democracy operates.
I hate seeing this because I hate it here lol but you did a great job visualizing this. Its all guessing until we see how the election shakes out. You should consider coming back post election to compare.
This is irrelevant if the Democratic party would get their shit together and start appealing to a broader base. Start speaking to what the average person needs and convince them that voting democrat will help them. There will always be hard core left and right people, but others can be convinced to vote left or right. Lately, the Republicans have been good and convincing people to vote for them based on the culture wars, they can be coerced back. It won’t happen quickly it will take years and decades, but it can happen.
The new districts, particularly in places like Texas, are taking R+10 or R+12 from 2024 and making them R+6 or R+7.
On paper that still seems like a lock and in 2028+ it might be but it’s incredibly optimistic to think that the electorate is going to remain +6 when Trump and the GOPs poll numbers are cratering into negative territory. I predict at least a few of these districts will not go the way they think, assuming people come out and assuming the votes are counted.
But assuming the Ds do somehow prevail, first order of business needs to be addressing this gerrymandering.
Easy to win a fight when the referee is on your team.
In a gerrymandering redistricting fight, we all lose.
Elected officials don’t face the same pressure to serve their constituents, and your vote is effectively washed out.
Really sad
The problem is democrats do it legally through votes and legislating vs republicans just do it and who cares. Until democrats do that they will not win this
Please explain how the US can still be deemed a democracy with this being legal?
Trump said I’d see a crooked election if I looked, and yep, I’m definitely seeing Republicans being crooked.
It turns out, the judges in blue states still possess scruples.
Notice how all this started with Republicans, who are trying to act like they are being „infringed upon“ by having it done back to them.
Still, they play victim and win, always.
Yet they act like they’ve lost. None of them are ever happy.
