this year?
isn't it too late to redistrict? never mind
I have seen higher estimates like 19 or 25 but I think it's left wing pundits losing their minds
It might be higher. I'm remembering that what I saw was only for the Deep South, rather than the whole country.
Hahaha
I can't believe @Cje95 did not post about this earlier
