After Texas, Trump's Redistricting Push Goes National

Democrats and Republicans are locked in a historic battle over congressional representation as Texas Republicans gerrymander the state's district maps to flip five Democratic seats, at the request of President Trump. California Governor Gavin Newsom says he is fighting "fire with fire," signing legislation to hold special elections for the public to approve a new gerrymandered map of their own. David Daley, a voting rights expert and the author of Antidemocratic: Inside the Right's 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections, calls this a "gerrymandering Armageddon" that threatens to spread nationwide. "Donald Trump does not want to have an election fair and square," says Texas state legislator Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat representing San Antonio. "He wants to be the 'commander-in-cheat.' He wants to cheat on America, cheat on democracy, steal these congressional seats."
