the only way the GOP will change is if they lose elections.

And they will make sure that never happens again.

CNN wrote: But before you start writing the political obituary for the Republican Party in Washington, you need to consider this oft-ignored but critically important card that the GOP still has in hand: The Republican Party will control the bulk of the redistricting processes in the country.

CNN wrote: Wasserman added that, based on his initial calculations, Republicans could gain as many as 10 seats solely from the number of map-drawing processes in key states they will control over the next 18 months. (Republicans need a net gain of only six seats to retake control of the House in November 2022.)

CNN wrote: Despite significant vulnerabilities, Republicans didn't lose their majorities in a single state legislative chamber, while they retook control from Democrats in two: the New Hampshire House and Senate.

But there's more:

American Independent wrote: Republicans in Georgia began proposing steps to make it harder to vote by mail and easier to throw out legally cast ballots after Biden beat Trump there by nearly 12,000 votes.

In Montana, the GOP-controlled state House began hearings on a bill on Thursday to eliminate same-day voter registration in the state. It's what Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen calls an "election integrity" measure, with Republicans claiming that same-day registration puts an unfair burden on local election officials.

On Friday, New Hampshire's Republican-controlled state House also began hearings on a bill that would repeal same-day voter registration in the state.

In Arizona, the GOP-run legislature is weighing whether to get rid of the state's Permanent Early Vote List, which allows residents to register to receive mail-in ballots automatically for each election they are eligible to vote in. It is also working to impose restrictions on recounts and add other burdens to the ability to vote.

In Pennsylvania, a Republican state senator introduced a bill on Thursday that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, which would significantly cut the number of Pennsylvanians who could vote by mail.

And a bill proposed by a Republican state senator would block Mississippi from releasing vote totals in its presidential elections until after all states had cast their votes in the Electoral College. The bill would allow the state to report the percentages of the vote the candidates received, but not the number of ballots.
