Fact check: How many times have democrats redrew maps to redistrict mid-decade since 2010

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal that none of the sources provide a specific numerical answer to the question about how many times Democrats have redrawn maps to redistrict mid-decade since 2010. However, the sources do document several instances of Democratic redistricting efforts:

• California is currently moving to redraw congressional maps in response to Texas Republicans' redistricting efforts ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
• Illinois has responded to Republican gerrymandering with their own maps that favor Democratic districts ^{[5] [6]}
• California Governor Gavin Newsom specifically wants lawmakers to rush a new map that could give Democrats advantages in five newly drawn districts ^[4]

The sources focus primarily on current redistricting battles rather than providing historical data on mid-decade redistricting frequency since 2010.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about the broader redistricting landscape:

• Republican redistricting efforts are extensively mentioned as catalysts for Democratic responses, particularly Texas Republicans' current redistricting push ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• The sources suggest this is part of a tit-for-tat dynamic where both parties engage in gerrymandering when they have the opportunity ^{[5] [6]}
• President Trump has specifically urged Republicans to redraw congressional districts, which has sparked Democratic countermoves ^[1]

The question frames redistricting as primarily a Democratic practice, but the sources indicate both parties engage in gerrymandering when politically advantageous. Political parties and their leadership benefit from redistricting by securing more favorable electoral maps that can help maintain or expand their power in Congress.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains implicit bias by focusing exclusively on Democratic redistricting without acknowledging that:

• Both parties engage in redistricting when they control state governments ^{[5] [6]}
• Current Democratic redistricting efforts are largely reactive responses to Republican initiatives, particularly in Texas ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• The question's framing suggests Democrats are uniquely responsible for mid-decade redistricting, when the sources show this is a bipartisan practice

The question also lacks the necessary historical data to provide an accurate count, as none of the analyzed sources contain comprehensive information about Democratic redistricting frequency since 2010. This makes it impossible to verify the underlying premise of the question based on the available evidence.
