A redistricting effort before the November elections has reshaped congressional voting districts for millions of Americans.
Since President Donald Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw U.S. House districts last year, Republicans in several states have enacted new maps that could help them win additional seats in the midterms.
Louisiana is expected to join soon, and Alabama Republicans are appealing a court decision blocking a map they support.
Republicans think they could gain as many as 14 seats, while Democrats think they could gain six from new districts in California and Utah.
The redistricting battle continues across several states.
