Redistricting is the process of drawing new congressional and state legislative district boundaries. This article summarizes congressional and state legislative actions in each state in the 2020 cycle.
Status of congressional redistricting
As of February 2026, congressional maps in the following states had been struck down due to ongoing litigation or were required to be redrawn before the 2026 elections.
Georgia
On December 8, 2023, GovernorBrian Kemp (R) signed revised congressional maps into law. Legislators in theGeorgia House of Representatives voted 98-71 to adopt the new congressional map on December 7. TheGeorgia State Senate voted 32-22 to adopt the congressional map on December 5.[1][2]
On October 26, 2023, theUnited States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that the state's congressional and legislative district boundaries violated theVoting Rights Act and enjoined the state from using them for future elections.[3] The court directed theGeorgia General Assembly to develop new maps by December 8, 2023.[3]
On December 28, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District upheld the maps enacted on December 8, which were later used in the 2024 elections, and found them in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.[4]
| “ | The Court finds that the General Assembly fully complied with this Court’s order requiring the creation of a majority-Black congressional district in the region of the State where vote dilution was found. The Court further finds that the elimination of 2021 CD 7 did not violate the October 26, 2023 Order. Finally, the Court declines to adjudicate Plaintiffs’ new Section 2 claim based on a coalition of minority voters. Hence, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiffs’ objections ... and HEREBY APPROVES SB 3EX.[5][6] | ” |
Thedistrict court's approval of remedial state legislative maps was appealed to theEleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument was held on January 23, 2025.[7]
Louisiana
On June 27, 2025, theU.S. Supreme Court scheduledLouisiana v. Callais for reargument in its next term.[8] In August 2025, the Court scheduled arguments for October 15, 2025.[9] The Court had not ruled in the case by the end of 2025, meaning the state would not have time to draw a new map before the 2026 midterm elections, leaving the existing map in place.[10]
The Court first heard oral arguments in the case on March 24, 2025.[11] On November 4, 2024, theU.S. Supreme Court agreed to hearLouisiana v. Callais (formerlyCallais v. Landry) consolidated withRobinson v. Callais — two appeals from theU.S. District Court for Western Louisiana decision that struck down the state's new congressional map. The Court noted probable jurisdiction and allotted one hour for oral argument.[12][13]
On May 15, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked an April 30 ruling by the U.S. District Court for Western Louisiana striking down the state's congressional map. As a result, the map was used for Louisiana’s 2024 congressional elections.[14] According toScotusBlog,
| “ | In a brief unsigned order the justices blocked a ruling by a federal court that had barred the state from using the new map on the ground that legislators had relied too heavily on race when they drew it earlier this year. The order cited an election doctrine known as the Purcell principle – the idea that courts should not change election rules during the period just before an election because of the confusion that it will cause for voters and the problems that doing so could cause for election officials. The lower court’s order will remain on hold, the court indicated, while an appeal to the Supreme Court moves forward.[14][6] | ” |
Gov.Jeff Landry signed the congressional map into law on January 22 after a special legislative session. Thestate House of Representatives voted 86-16 and thestate Senate voted 27-11 to adopt this congressional map on January 19.[15][16]
According toNPR, "Under the new map, Louisiana's 2nd District, which encompasses much of New Orleans and surrounding areas, will have a Black population of about 53%. Democratic U.S. Rep. Troy Carter represents that district, which has been Louisiana's only majority-Black district for several years. Louisiana's 6th District now stretches from parts of Shreveport to Baton Rouge and will have a Black population of about 56%."[17]
New York
On February 28, 2024, Gov.Kathy Hochul (D) signed a new congressional map into law. Thestate Assembly voted 115-35 to approve the map on February 27. Thestate Senate voted 45-18 to approve the map the same day.[18][19][20]
According to Nicholas Fandos ofThe New York Times, "Although a pair of swing districts would become more Democratic, lawmakers in Albany left the partisan makeup of 24 of the state’s 26 districts largely intact. The middle-ground approach reflected a desire to avoid another protracted court fight like the one in New York that helped swing control of the House to Republicans in 2022, while still better positioning Democrats in key districts."[19]
On January 21, 2026, state judge Jeffrey Pearlman ruled thatNew York's 11th Congressional District unconstitutionally diluted Black and Latino voting power and ordered the state's redistricting commission to redraw the congressional map by February 6, 2026.[21]
Status of state legislative redistricting
As of February 2026, legislative maps in the following states had been struck down due to ongoing litigation or were required to be redrawn before the 2026 elections.
Georgia
Thedistrict court's approval of remedial state legislative maps was appealed to theEleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument was held on January 23, 2025.[22]
Governor Kemp (R) signed revised legislative maps into law on December 8, 2023. Legislators in the Georgia House of Representatives voted 98-71 to adopt the new state legislative maps on December 5. The Georgia State Senate voted 32-23 to adopt the state legislative maps on December 1. For more information about the enacted legislative maps,click here.[1][2]
On October 26, 2023, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that the state's congressional and legislative district boundaries violated the Voting Rights Act and enjoined the state from using them for future elections.[3] The court directed theGeorgia General Assembly to develop new maps by December 8, 2023.[3]
Louisiana
On February 19, 2024, the state appealed aU.S. District Court for Middle Louisiana decision that struck down the state's legislative maps.[23]
The lower court's February 8, 2024, ruling found the state's legislative maps to be in violation of the Voting Rights Act.[24][25] According to the ruling, the court found the following:
| “ | [T]he Enacted State House and Senate Maps crack or pack large and geographically compact minority populations such as Black voters in the challenged districts 'have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice,' and the Illustrative Plan offered by the Plaintiffs show that additional opportunity districts can be 'reasonable configured.'[25][6] | ” |
