“Democrats desperately look for a redistricting edge in California, New York and Maryland”

Politico on the limited options available to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas, Ohio, and Missouri:

In conversations with more than a dozen state lawmakers and redistricting experts, Democrats’ best shot at redrawing a map lies in California, a heavily blue state with a huge number of congressional districts. They see the second-best option in New York, which saw Democratic gerrymandering efforts sputter in recent years, and Illinois, which is already a heavily pro-Democrat gerrymander. Far less likely options lie with Maryland and New Jersey, which have just four Republican-held seats between them.
