US EditionOhio Preps for New Congressional Maps as States Threaten Gerrymandering
UNITED STATES, AUG 7 – Both Republican and Democratic states use advanced algorithms to redraw districts, with 15 states earning failing grades for partisan maps, experts said.
- On August 4, 2025, demonstrators gathered outside the Texas Governor's Mansion in Austin to protest the recently proposed redistricting legislation.
- This protest reflects ongoing disputes as states like Texas redraw their maps to increase partisan advantage following the Supreme Court's 2019 ruling preventing federal challenges to gerrymandering.
- Ohio faces a contested redistricting process with reports of efforts to secure disproportionate Republican advantages amid calls from officials to make maps that fairly represent Ohioans.

- Experts and advocates note that while state-run solutions show progress, comprehensive congressional legislation remains necessary to end partisan influence in redistricting.
