DeSantis seized control of the redistricting process. Also the fact that the attempt by New York to balance the scales and do a Democratic gerrymander was slapped down by Republican judges. And don't give me any of that crap about "if Democrats hadn't tried such a big gerrymander it wouldn't have been slapped down". No matter what the Democrats has done these extreme reich-wing judges would have torpedoed it.
