Gerrymandering is one of those things that the left has both perfected - and wants to pretend that only the right takes part in. 

A number of states will soon be redrawing congressional maps, including Texas and Ohio. Trump has boasted that redistricting in Texas could give Republicans an extra five seats.There are also outstanding lawsuits challenging the current maps of Georgia, Louisiana, and Arkansas. California Governor Gavin Newsom, meanwhile, recently indicated he’s considering redrawing their map to send even more Democrats to DC in response to Trump’s comments on Texas.

This was the subject of debate on CNN’s NewsNight, leading to pundit Scott Jennings once again delivering a much needed reality check. 

“Republicans believe ahead of the midterms that they need an upper hand so badly that they need to redraw entire states’ congressional maps to get five whole seats out of it,” host Abby Phillips said, mockingly.  

Jennings immediately fired back "Well, probably the same thing that it signifies when they did it in Illinois and got a 14-3 delegation for D's. Maryland, 7-1. Massachusetts 9-0. We know what happened here in New York."

Phillips then tried to argue that those cases aren’t significant because they didn’t all happen during midterm cycles… while admitting that she didn’t do any research on the topic.
