Seems that, with a free hand to gerrymander Dem leaning districts out of existence, a much more surgical means of election rigging is enabled.

Trump folds in 'embarrassing fashion' after Congress calls his bluff

During the early months of 2026, President Donald Trump was focused on one piece of legislation in particular, the SAVE America Act, which he claimed would increase election security, but critics argued would disenfranchise millions of voters. At the time, he declared it his top priority, posting, “I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.”

...it turns out that he was indeed bluffing in regard to SAVE, as not only has he signed numerous pieces of legislation since decreeing he would not do so, but the bill itself has been quietly vanished from public debate until Thursday, when it seemed to have been killed once and for all.

The net sifter is a wonderful thing:

As of May 2026, Republicans control 57 legislative chambers and 28 state legislatures. While specific, finalized counts for Democrat-held seats within Republican-gerrymandered states following the latest election cycles require cross-referencing, in the 2024 election, Democrats held 29 seats in states where Republicans controlled the redistricting process (such as Texas, Florida, and Georgia)

State Control: Republicans hold a majority in 28 states, while 23 states have Republican trifectas (governor and legislature).

Congressional Control: Republicans maintain a narrow, 220–215 majority in the House of Representatives as of December 2024, partly aided by favorable district maps in states like Texas and Florida.

Impact of Redistricting: Republican legislatures in states like Texas and Florida have historically used their map-drawing power to create safe Republican seats, limiting the number of Democrat-held seats in those states to 29 in 2024


How about Republican held seats in states where a Dem majority controls redistricting?

As of May 2026, there are approximately 14 to 15 U.S. House seats held by Republicans in states where Democrats have a trifecta (control of the governorship and both legislative chambers) and directly control the redistricting process.

So, if every state that could, corrupted it's elections to the max, the GOP would pick up 14-15 seats in the House.
