Dems Erupt as Republicans Will Add Another House Seat In Redistricting Fight

Republican lawmakers in Texas initiated the latest round of redistricting earlier this year with a map designed to create five additional GOP leaning congressional districts

In Missouri, Republicans approved new district boundaries aimed at adding one more Republican seat to the state’s delegation.
