Redistrict ‘26: Updates from the Virginia and Florida Fronts
Courses of action range from -4 to +8 NET for Republicans
Note to Readers: Please consider purchasing a copy of The American War on Election Corruption for your legislators. We are making good progress on the overall mission thanks to a number of motivated donors, like one who recently sponsored copies for every member of the Wisconsin legislature and a patriot from Cochise County who sponsored ten for Rachel to give to members of the Arizona House:
You may have noticed I began rolling out my 2026 House previews earlier this month, starting with an overview of the “safe” seats in New England. As I make my way down the East Coast, I’m going to have to take a “wait and see” approach on two important states - Virginia and Florida.

Jonathan Turley has pointed out Attorney General Jay Jones’s weakness in defending the ridiculous language used for the referendum, and the legality of even launching such a ballot measure:
Uncertainty over this process has made its way into the betting markets. Polymarket bettors are bailing out of their once-certain positions that the 10-1 Democrat map was going to be in play in November:
