- Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana have approved new congressional maps, while Florida and New York's redistricting efforts are still pending.
- The redistricting in Alabama and Georgia has resulted in shifts that could favor Democrats in Alabama and maintain Republican advantage in Georgia.
- Louisiana's new maps, requiring a second majority-black district, are approved but face legal challenges alleging racial discrimination.
- Wisconsin's newly signed maps by Gov. Tony Evers are seen as a victory for Democrats, aiming to reflect the state's 'purple' status.
