An Associated Press analysis shows that Republicans have benefited from the biggest political advantage in decades because of potential gerrymandering in U.S. House districts and state legislative boundaries. The analysis shows that U.S. House districts drawn after the 2010 census produced a consistent edge for Republicans all the way through the 2020 elections in more states than for either party during the past 50 years. That Republican advantage will be put to the test when new census data is released Thursday. That will kick off a new round of redistricting that will take effect with the 2022 elections.
