A cartogram showing the partisan intent behind congressional redistricting in every state for the 2026 elections, with each state’s size corresponding to how many districts it has. States retain their general shapes and locations relative to each other, but they are spaced out to accommodate the change in sizes. The graphic illustrates how Republicans gerrymandered states with 32% of districts in red and Democrats gerrymandered states with 27% of districts in blue. A court, commission, or divided legislature drew a relatively neutral map in yellow states with 29% of districts, and gray states with 1% of districts only have one district each.
The GOP drew 3 times more congressional seats than Dems did for 2024—but that disparity would be far smaller for 2026 with new Dem maps in CA & VA.
This cartogram shows the partisan intent behind each state’s map, though it doesn't measure the effect of more extreme new GOP maps in MO, NC, OH, & TX
