    This will probably swing 6 seats back to the Democrats. Add that to Alabama and South Carolina’s latest ruling (Maybe Louisiana and Mississippi too?? I can’t remember) means the Dems should be the favorites to win the House in '24

      Don’t forget they’ll lose 3-4 seats when NC shifts from a court-drawn 7-7 map to a GOP-drawn 10-4 or 11-3 map over the next few months.

        Is there a timeline on when Wisconsin possibly becomes something resembling a democracy again thanks to their new Supreme Court though?

      Those changes only matter if people actually go out and vote. We had record voter turnout in 2022 for the midterms and we prevented the “red wave” that conservatives at the time were screaming about. But, a massive number of people still stayed home and didn’t vote. We could have taken both houses of Congress easily if even 1/4 of those people that stayed home actually got up and voted. So while the redistricting to reverse gerrymandering in some areas is a huge victory, the point is moot if everyone stays home.
