Pete Buttigieg is completely misrepresenting what’s going on with redistricting.
The Supreme Court ruled that the redistricting Democrats had done based primarily on race was unconstitutional.
Republican states are now abiding by the law and righting that redistricting.

In a major 2023 decision (and reinforced in later cases), the Supreme Court struck down race-based congressional and state legislative maps, saying that using race as the predominant factor when drawing district lines violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This has impacted multiple states, including several Democrat-drawn maps that were found to be racial gerrymanders.”
Key Case: Allen v. Milligan (2023) and follow-up rulings where the Court has continued to limit the use of race as the main driver in map-drawing.
