President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 election by gerrymandering congressional districts hit a massive roadblock Tuesday: California voters.

The Republican chairman of the House’s elections oversight committee recently revealed he would soon introduce legislation to ban states from counting mail-in ballots that were sent by Election Day but arrive after.
Louisiana Republicans enacted a law delaying next year’s elections ahead of a looming U.S. Supreme Court decision that could upend the state’s congressional map by weakening the Voting Rights Act’s protections for minority voters.
