JD Vance Delivers a Masterclass on How Democrats Rig Elections [WATCH]

Vice President J.D. Vance is urging Republican-led states to push back against what he describes as “aggressive” gerrymandering in blue states such as California, New York, and Illinois, saying the current system unfairly benefits Democrats due to the inclusion of illegal aliens in congressional apportionment.

Speaking Sunday on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Vance said the nation’s electoral system has been skewed for years in ways that distort representation in Congress.

“The democratic system in this country is broken because who you vote for doesn’t necessarily get reflected in who your representatives are,” Vance said.

“We’re just trying to rebalance the scales and frankly push back against a very unfair system created by the Democrats.”

Vance’s remarks come as the debate over congressional map drawing has intensified across the country.

In Texas, Republicans are considering a new redistricting plan that could give the GOP as many as five additional U.S. House seats.

That proposal has already prompted Democratic lawmakers from the state to travel to blue states in protest, an effort to prevent a vote on the measure.

In response, some Democratic officials in heavily blue states have floated the idea of drawing their own maps to offset the effects of a Texas redraw.

The possibility of competing redistricting efforts on both sides has fueled a nationwide fight over political boundaries and congressional power.

According to Vance, Democrats have long held the advantage in the redistricting process.

Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, he said, Republicans are finally prepared to adopt a more aggressive approach.

“It’s ridiculously unfair,” Vance said, referring to the inclusion of illegal immigrants in the total population count used to determine how many seats each state receives in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The current system, based on total population rather than the number of eligible voters, can increase representation for states with large illegal alien populations.

Vance argued that this practice disproportionately benefits blue states and dilutes representation in Republican-led states.

“The only real way to fight back against it is for us to redistrict, in some ways, as aggressively as these hard blue states have done,” he said.

By Vance’s account, states like California have already maximized their ability to shape political maps in their favor.

He suggested that Republican states still have room to counteract the imbalance.

“There’s just not a whole lot of juice left out of that lemon,” Vance said.

“The Democrats have already gone as far as they possibly can.”

He calls out the 2020 election having “major statistical errors” of red states being undercounted and blue states overcounted.

The issue of whether illegal aliens should be counted for congressional apportionment has been a longstanding point of contention in U.S. politics.

Supporters of the current method argue that representation is based on all residents, regardless of citizenship status, while opponents insist that including illegal aliens undermines the principle of equal representation for voting citizens.

With the possibility of multiple states pursuing aggressive redraws of their congressional districts, the next round of redistricting battles is expected to be among the most contentious in recent history.

Republican leaders, emboldened by Vance’s remarks, may see the moment as an opportunity to reshape the political map for the next decade.
