There’s a dichotomy shaping up in this midterm election year. The national political landscape could hardly look worse for Trump and Republicans.
At the same time, the GOP is suddenly resurgent in the redistricting fight, getting significant wins this week in Virginia and Tennessee that could soften the blow they might have suffered without them.

If something happens that convinces non-voters to show up, redistricting can actually work AGAINST the party in power.
