Last year, Texas announced its intention to redraw its congressional maps ahead of the midterms. Ever since then, blue and red states across the nation have been locked in a battle to see who can flip more House seats to their side before elections begin in November.

In Florida, for example, Governor Ron DeSantis ordered his state’s legislature to draw new maps that would benefit Republicans. Recently, however, two Florida voters filed a petition with the state’s Supreme Court in a bid to stop the effort.
From The Hill:
A Thursday filing before the Florida Supreme Court argues that DeSantis does not have the authority to order the state Legislature to draw new maps.
DeSantis last month issued a proclamation calling a spring special legislative session focused on congressional redistricting, pushing Florida further into the nationwide battle over district lines ahead of November’s high-stakes midterms.
The Florida voters, Elizabeth Pines and Eugene Pettis, contend that DeSantis and Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd (R), who issued a related directive, unconstitutionally attempted to use “unilateral authority to bind the Legislature into passing legislation.”
Governor DeSantis has set a special election for April, though it’s not clear if this will be allowed to move forward. According to The Hill, observers are anxiously waiting for a Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana’s new proposed congressional map that could impact the districts in Florida.
Meanwhile, Democrats in Virginia have put forward a new map that would leave the state with 10 blue districts and one red one. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed legislation on Friday allowing this map to move forward, and voters will now face a referendum on the redistricting on April 21.
These are not the only states working to redistrict ahead of the election. According to USA Today, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina, Utah, and New York are redrawing maps in an attempt to help their preferred political party. Meanwhile, Republicans in Indiana and Kentucky shut down Trump backed redistricting efforts, and a separate effort in Democratic-led Maryland has stalled.
According to USA Today, the House of Representatives is currently made up of 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats, with three seats, two formerly held by Republicans and one formerly held by a Democrat, currently vacant. If the 7 states mentioned above all succeed in their efforts, Republicans could potentially see a net gain of one to three seats. This is in addition to the changes being implemented in both Texas and California which will help Republicans and Democrats respectively.
As this redistricting battle continues, let’s pray for fair maps and fair elections ahead of what is sure to be an extremely consequential midterm season!

FATHER GOD let YOUR Will prevail over this redistricting. Please let red states not give in to the cheating that has gone on for years with democrats concerning redistricting and voting. FATHER GOD we need YOU to intervene in these battles to send help. YOU are our Very Present Help in Trouble and we need YOU now. Please deliver America from all of the satanic evil from leftists and some on the right. Let every satanic trap planned fall back on those that planned the evil traps. Help us LORD! YOUR children are crying for help for America in JESUS NAME. Amen.
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE STOP THE CHEATING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARY ALLOW THEM TO LOSE EVERYTHING THEY HOPED TO GAIN AND ALLOW PROSECUTION OF THEIR TREASONOUS ACTS TO BE CARRIED OUT WITH FINES AND LENGTHY PRISON TERMS FOR THE GUILTY.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Detailed and to the point!
Amen!
The demoncrats have been rigging elections and districts to their advantage for decades and for them to cry foul is laughable. I pray if the demoncrats gain more support and power that Jesus return to us and restore God’s kingdom on earth and pass judgement on us all. Reward the righteous and send the evil to the fiery pit we know as hell. I trust in God’s will. 🙏😇🙏❤️
Dear Almighty God,
Please establish honest, fair, and righteous elections in our USA!
Please let the SAFE act pass with no government shutdown.
Please grant voter ID laws to pass. Please forbid electronic voting machines.
Please let all laws already in place that ensure no cheating to be enforced.
Please continue to expose all the election cheating and corruption that has already happened and hold those responsible accountable.
Thank you Lord for hearing and answering our prayers.
In Jesus’ almighty name,
Amen!
Truth doesn’t need to be altered. If our government were so sure of the truth, redistricting would not happen. Remember, it’s all spiritual. God is speaking loud and clear. The Body of Christ, for the most part, is not paying attention. We are to be salt and light in this dark and evil world. If the Church would come together as Christ has intended, a great difference would be made. Satan and his imps are doing their jobs because we are wasting time on politics. I don’t mean any disrespect to IFA, but please, can you find articles that lift up Jesus? He is coming back soon, and too many people won’t be ready. You think things are bad now, wait and see. This is nothing compared to what is going to happen. God always sends warnings before judgement. We express concern for our children but are not doing anything to protect them. The government sure isn’t helping.
The Bible tells us to occupy until JESUS returns. We must engage in the culture to pray for GOD’S Kingdom to come here. If we do not engage in what is going on the marxists democrats would have us all locked up with all of our freedoms stripped away. GOD said we are not to be ignorant of satan’s devices. FATHER GOD please give us YOUR Wisdom for our lives. Order our steps daily and direct our path in JESUS NAME. Amen.
