Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) By repeatedly tying the recent redistricting process to a court ruling that changed the racial makeup of who can bring legal challenges under the Voting Rights Act, Gov. Greg Abbott β€œexplicitly directed the Legislature to redistrict based on race,” Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote in the ruling that blocked Texas’ new map. https://t.co/iarDnowaeM

While some SC lawmakers have expressed interest in the idea, there isn't a consistent push for South Carolina redistricting at this time.

Christian Grose (@christiangrose) Very interesting polling results on redistricting. Voters support independent redistricting; and/but want maps that help their parties right now. https://t.co/3v9aV7yYRQ

Onondaga County voters to decide on term limits for legislators Voters in Onondaga County will have the opportunity to decide on "Proposition One," a measure that could change the terms and impose limits on county legislator

"Voting yes on that ballot will do two things: It will move the Onondaga County Legislature from a two-year term to a four-year term starting in 2026and then it will also put a 12-year term limit," explained Czarny.

Looks like Newburgh NY’s lawyer thinks their argument opposing NYS Voting Rights Act before NY Court of Appeals didn’t go so well today and will land this case before the US Supreme Court @RedistrictNet @davedaley3 @Redistrict2021 @NYElectionNews

The mayor begins his Tuesday presser by seeming to attribute the dismissal of his case to God (rather than to the Trump administration), and coordinates his outfit accordingly

The 2030 Census is right around the corner - We discuss what state policymakers should be doing to prepare for the 2030 Census and reflect on what went wrong with the 2020 count in the Empire State.

I’m asking @governor.ny.gov to establish a permanent NYS Census Office to ensure every New Yorker is counted in 2030, protect NY’s representation in Congress, and secure federal funding. πŸŽ™οΈ Tune in to the Capitol Pressroom interview w/ @jeffwice.bsky.social. capitolpressroom.org/2025/03/31/t...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Once the cyberbarons fully occupy and effectively seize control of the Treasury and other key government agencies, it won’t be long before they relegate Trump to a rubber-walled romper room, wheeling him out for occasional bursts of what passes for charisma to humor him with the illusion of power.
