This gives whoever is drawing the maps the power to maximize the number of districts that favor their party &mdash; a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote last month, the 2020 election represented the last chance for voters to weigh in on who would draw those maps.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Both parties went into the election with a chance to draw more congressional districts than the other, but the end result was just about the best-case scenario for Republicans. As the map below shows, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats &mdash; or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>How did Republicans pull that off?
