My latest via @OhioCapJournal: "Hindsight may be 20/20, but when it comes to redistricting, perhaps we need 20/30 vision. That’s because 2030 is the year that the next Census that determines congressional and state legislative apportionment will take place." ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/…

Voters SHOULD ALWAYS have final say about their representation.
🗣️ for the people in the back who haven’t been paying attention.

Just tonight, the SCOTUS has BLOCKED Missouri's 2025 Congressional map from being used in the upcoming midterm elections. Between legislatures, courts, judges, and voters, who should have the last word when it comes the Congressional maps?
Co-author of 'Draw The Line In Ohio: How One State’s Fight For Fair Maps Explains Gerrymandering In America', @JRultenberg, tells @DeeDeeNews, "Voters 100% should always have the final say... here you see the Supreme Court of the United States standing up for them."

For Halloween, go as the Purcell Principle. You dress up in your normal clothes, and say that you can't change into a costume because it's too close to the election.

A per curiam decision at that!
SCOTUS unanimously not cool with this is noteworthy.

Thanks so much for having me, @mattklewis!
On today’s pod @billscher talks about the state of the 2026 midterms and how Republicans are distancing from Trump — and @RileyTopping talks about the impacts of gerrymandering in 2026 (and beyond!). piped.video/Res8IWi8qzQ?is=qvNr…

What comes to mind when you think of the word "gerrymandering"? Perhaps you think of legal battles? Ethical battles? Oddly drawn voting districts that combine communities together that are miles apart both geographically and ideologically? wosu.pm/4h5GX5h

I would really urge Republicans to take some stock as to whether the Rush Limbaugh style of politics, where everything is about owning the libs and performative executive orders and nothing is about policy, dealmaking, or legislation, actually works.
The New Republic: A Fabrizio (R)/Anzalone (D) poll has Peltola up 6 in Alaska’s RCV final — and privately, Republicans are already talking about pulling money out of Georgia.
Nancy Mace didn’t mince words: the midterms are going to be a “f—king bloodbath.”
Other GOP operatives say the party is bleeding Latinos. One strategist just sent a HuffPost reporter a poop emoji.
The New Republic talked to John Anzalone, the Democratic pollster on the Alaska survey. He walks through what the numbers actually show about Trump’s collapse — and why he thinks Texas is “real.”

Same playbook. Different state.
Don’t like how the state court rules. Go to the federal courts.
@RileyTopping and I write all about this in Draw the Line in Ohio.
#BREAKING: The 8th has ruled that Missouri must use its 2025 congressional map in the November's election.
The court said the order will be stayed until 5 p.m. on Sept. 28, 2026 to allow time for an appeal. People Not Politicians is expected to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. kmbc.com/article/missouri-co…
