US midterms 2026: Who draws congressional district lines? | This Is America

Ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections, battles over congressional district boundaries are reshaping the political landscape before voters cast their ballots. Republicans and Democrats are redrawing electoral maps in states including Texas, Tennessee and California, raising concerns about gerrymandering, voting rights and political representation. Al Jazeera examines the redistricting battles reshaping American politics, their impact on voters, particularly Black and Latino communities, and the Supreme Court's role in determining the legality of electoral maps. As both parties seek an advantage in the race for control of Congress, are voters choosing their representatives, or are politicians choosing their voters?
