2026 Midterm Elections Thread - GoodOwl - 04-29-2026 05:45 PM
The Florida Legislature approved a new congressional map intended to maximize Republicans’ advantage in the state as part of the national redistricting battle that President Donald Trump launched ahead of this year’s midterms.
The vote came just two days after Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his proposal and the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court rolled back a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The decision could make it harder for Democrats to challenge Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts in ways that limit the influence of nonwhite voters.
DeSantis’ map could increase Republicans’ advantage in Florida’s House delegation to 24 to 4, up from the current split of 20 to 8. The potential four-seat gain is the same as what Virginia Democrats expect from a recent redistricting referendum, which is being challenged in state court there.
With today's 6-3 SCOTUS ruling on the unconstitutionality of using race to gerrymander districts, it's gonna be interesting to see how redraws and districts are affected. A lot of variables affecting this years' Midterms, and no one on either side really knows how things will shake out at this point.

Many around the world are standing up to the insanity of the Far-Left and the weak, complicit Globalist Right. Good job, Reform. Save Great Britain while you still can.
Also Detain, De-naturalize and Deport 50+ Million here in the USA back to the Communist and Socialist hellholes whence they came. They can have their corrupt, disordered insanity back there in the armpits of the world and live their miserable lives away from those who want Freedom, Prosperity and the Rule of Law. God Bless America and God Save The UK from the invading hoards.

sure, with 75% registered communists/Democrats he doesn't have much chance, but look what a reasonable, sane candidate for the people looks like compared to two insane, corrupt commie women who rely on the stupidity and illegality of their 'voters' along with ballot-stuffing for their continued power and wealth while their people suffer:

I guess they too are racist nazis.
The Dems only want to keep them here until the Census. Part of the plan to save America from common sense.

Amazing, the similarities between the UK left and the USA left. Oppose us, and you are a racist hater. Same song, millionth verse. And apparently, illegal immigration is an issue there, as well as here.

Look at the lady in glasses shaking her head "no" during the latter part of his speech.
he is dead solid correct that during the Biden years many of these illegals were allowed to come in, perhaps even brought in, for purposes of the Census. Eliminate illegals from being counted as part of the apportionment process, and Democrat support for illegals will dwindle to zero overnight. Or maybe quicker.

the City came out to run homeless people off my land (City initiative). The homeless people were offered spots in shelters. All refused, and all ended up in new encampments on land about a mile away. One fellow said he didn't want to give up his independence.
FWIW.

No, a Texas Senate seat going blue. And if Talarico wins, you will WISH we had a Rino in there.

Might be a Pyrrhic victory.
Between the Straight Ticket Democrats and the antiTrump TDSers, Talarico has a better chance now, plus the RNC will have to spend a ton of money on this race. Not a good outcome.
In the runoff, I considered Cornyn the lesser evil. In October, Paxton will be the lesser evil, by a country mile. Hard to imagine Six-Genders Talarico as the lesser evil against anybody. Mamdani would be the lesser evil versus Talarico.
Unfortunately the coalition mentioned above, plus the ones who will piously vote for third parties as a protest, may be enough to put Talarico in office. An idiot elected by idiots.
I fear for our country and my state. Maybe it is good that I am going soon.
If able, I will vote on the first day of early voting.
The only silver lining I see is that it might show the power of Trump to influence common sense Americans.
As usual, GO, with respect even when we disagree.

Perhaps you may wish to address the error(s) above.
First, he said 6 biological sexes. In the context of a bill limiting bathrooms by sex.
Second, he specifically mentioned chromosomal dysmorphic conditions directly after that statement. Listing XYY, XXY, and two other *sex* based chromosomal abnormalities.
You might want to brush up on facts (and the very different issues of sex and gender) *before* going all “repeat FOX News” mode, repeating itself Mr Indictment and Mr Impeachment for fraud and abuse of public office, respectively. Just saying.
If you really want to go full myna bird, you do you.
Quote: An idiot elected by idiots.
Kind of rich coming from a guy that either refuses to do the simplest of fact checking prior to repeating the bolded, or is too lazy to do that, or in the last alternative, simply follows an intentional path of deception in terms of language, or in not bothering with the actual factual basis of the comment that is readily available.
Can’t wait for more of the shallow and deceptive comments opined by Paxton and repeated rotely by those that choose to do so without bothering to even check them, or check their context.
