(The Center Square) - As the 2026 midterm elections approach, state legislatures have grappled with fierce mid-decade redistricting efforts in an attempt to give an advantage to their political party. Based on current map projections, Republicans could flip three more seats than Democrats. Republicans currently have a slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Six states have enacted new Congressional districts that aim to make certain races more competitive or give a party advantages before the midterm elections. While the districts are likely to make some races more competitive, voters will ultimately decide who takes control of Congress. Additionally, litigation in states across the country leaves some redistricting measures largely uncertain. Barring the legal challenges, advantages in partisan makeup appear minimal, even in states that have implemented redistricting measures, according to projections. The Cook Political Report ranks 206 races that at least lean in favor of Republicans and 211 that at least lean in favor of Democrats. Eighteen races are seen as true tossups, according to the Cook Political Report. Other projections differ slightly in overall totals for the House races but most are similar to the Cook Political Report. Even in states that have enacted redistricting legislation, the Cook Political Report only ranks five as true tossup races. Republicans cleared a hurdle in the U.S. Supreme Court, which allowed new maps in Texas that changed five congressional seats that previously leaned Democrat to now lean in their favor going into the 2026 midterms. “By allowing an egregiously racially gerrymandered map that brazenly dilutes the voices of communities of color to stand, the Court is not only turning a blind eye to discrimination – it is actively enabling it,” said Eric Holder, former Democratic U.S. attorney general under President Barack Obama. However, California countered with a congressional redistricting ballot measure to favor Democrats in five congressional districts. Lawyers for the Trump administration urged justices on the Supreme Court to strike down California’s map. The lawyers argued Prop 50, the California ballot measure to approve the new congressional district lines, made distinctions on race and should be classified as racial gerrymandering. “An injunction effectively requiring California to return to its earlier map would be less disruptive to the State’s election apparatus than allowing the Prop 50 map to go into effect,” the lawyers wrote. “Under the proposed lines, Democrats could gain up to 5 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives,” California Democrats wrote. “With a majority in the House, Democrats can fight back against Trump and Republicans’ MAGA agenda.” Utah legislators have battled over competing redistricting maps. State Judge Dianna Gibson chose a map instead of the redistricting proposal from the Republican-led state legislature. Gibson's selected map created one potentially competitive Democratic district in Utah. This is a stark contrast to the legislature's proposal, which had two competitive Republican districts and zero competitive Democrat districts. The Utah map is likely to be appealed to the state's Supreme Court. "The Utah Supreme Court can decide now if the Legislature is the sole and exclusive authority over redistricting in Utah or if it shares that responsibility with the people,” Gibson wrote. Florida, Maryland, Illinois, New York, Nebraska, Kansas and Virginia have signaled or made attempts to pursue redistricting efforts in their states. These changes could shift the balance of power in either direction significantly.

Se prevé que De los Mozos se reuna en los próximos días con Javier Escribano para empezar a estructurar la operación de fusión entre ambas empresas Escribano celebra un año al frente de Indra con dudas sobre la compra de su empresa y plusvalías multimillonarias Indra, en la reunión del pasado jueves, le dio el visto bueno al consejero delegado de la compañía, José Vicente de los Mozos, para que negocie con Escribano Mechanical & Engineering (EM&E) la estructura de una operación que, en principio, apuntaba a ejecutarse como una fusión por absorción, aunque ahora se plantean alternativas como, por ejemplo, la adquisición de una participación mayoritaria de EM&E en efectivo, según ha adelantado el diario 'Expansión' y han confirmado a Europa Press fuentes conocedoras de la situación. Cabe recordar que la operación presenta diversos conflictos de interés debido a que los propietarios de EM&E son el presidente de Indra, Ángel Escribano, y su hermano y presidente de EM&E, Javier Escribano, que también es consejero dominical de Indra debido a que EM&E posee el 14,3% del capital de Indra. De hecho, EM&E es el segundo mayor accionista de Indra después del Gobierno, que posee un 28% de la compañía a través de la Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI). De este modo, se prevé que De los Mozos se reunirá en los próximos días con Javier Escribano para empezar a estructurar la operación. En este contexto, uno de los principales aspectos que determinará el modo en el que se ejecute finalmente la operación tiene que ver con la valoración final de EM&E, dado que, entre otras cuestiones, determinaría el tipo de canje de acciones que se efectuaría en una potencial fusión por absorción y, por tanto, el peso que tendría la empresa familiar de los Escribano en el capital de Indra. Si bien el Gobierno era el principal valedor e impulsor de la operación, al Ejecutivo le han entrado dudas acerca de la idoneidad del movimiento tal y como estaba planteado desde un principio y, más allá de los conflictos de interés presentes desde el inicio del proceso, lo que quiere evitar es perder el control de la principal empresa nacional de defensa, sobre todo en un contexto geopolítico como el actual. Es por esto que la valoración de EM&E, la cual se prevé que se conocerá cuando se auditen las cuentas correspondientes a 2025 de ambas empresas, tiene tanta importancia, dado que en una potencial fusión por absoción la participación de los otros accionistas se diluirá más o menos en función de ese factor, que determinará la ecuación de canje. Sin embargo, más allá de esa opción también está la alternativa de que, en lugar de absorber el 100% de EM&E, Indra tome una participación de control —a partir del 50,01%— en efectivo o en acciones. En caso de una toma del control en acciones (en lugar del 100%) la mencionada dilución de los otros accionistas sería menor, algo que encajaría, por ejemplo, en el objetivo del Gobierno de no perder el control de la principal compañía nacional de defensa. En este contexto, otra posibilidad con la que se especula tiene que ver con que Ángel Escribano dé un paso un lado para despejar las dudas en torno a los conflictos de interés que conlleva la operación. Sin embargo, esta misma semana De los Mozos destacó el conocimiento que tiene Escribano de la industria de la defensa y puso en valor el tándem que forman al resaltar que, entre ambos, están “transformando” la empresa. “Con la entrada de Ángel Escribano, juntos, estamos transformando esta empresa. Con su 'know-how', conoce la industria, y eso nos ha permitido, con los diferentes proyectos (...) tomar decisiones arriesgadas como 'El Tallerón' (la fábrica adquirida a Duro Felguera en Gijón para producir blindados en ella) y la fábrica de radares en Córdoba”, afirmó De los Mozos durante su intervención ante la secretaria de Estado de Defensa, Amparo Valcarce, en un desayuno de trabajo celebrado en Madrid.

(The Center Square) - Alongside a battle for control of Congress, voters in states across the country will take up ballot initiatives to decide key issues. Citizenship requirements for voting, abortion, marijuana and psychedelic drug measures are among the issues to be considered across multiple states. Here are some of those ballot measures. Noncitizen Voting In Arkansas, voters will consider whether to adopt an amendment to the state constitution that specifically prohibits noncitizens from voting. Currently, Arkansas allows any person in the state who is a citizen and at least 18 years old to vote. The amendment would restrict voter eligibility to U.S. citizens who meet the “qualifications of an elector.” “A person who does not meet the qualifications of an elector under this section shall not be permitted to vote in any state or local election held in this state,” the ballot measure reads. Similarly, Kansas and South Dakota will have measures on the ballot to formalize citizenship requirements in each state’s constitution. No state constitution in the country explicitly allows noncitizens to vote. Eighteen other states explicitly prohibit noncitizen voting. Marijuana and Psychedelic Drugs In Idaho, voters will take up a measure that could give the state legislature authority to legalize marijuana, narcotics, and other psychoactive substances. Additionally, the measure would prevent citizens from initiating state statutes to legalize the substances. Idaho is one of 11 states where medical and recreational marijuana use is illegal. If voters approve the measure, it would make Idaho the first state to strip voters of the ability for future legalization efforts outside of the legislature. Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia have legalized possession and use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia passed legalization measures through citizen-led ballot measures “Too many legislatures across this nation have sat back and just waited as initiative after initiative would come after them, until they finally overwhelm it and overwhelm the legislature,” Idaho Sen. Scott Grow, R-Eagle, said. “We are acting because that’s our responsibility.” Abortion In November, Missouri voters will consider a ban on abortion in the state except in the case of medical emergencies, rape, incest and fetal anomaly. The provision would give and exception for abortions in cases of rape or incest after 12 weeks gestation. If voters in Missouri pass the measure, it would undo a 2024 state initiative that upheld the right to an abortion in the state. In Nevada, voters will return to the polls to affirm whether the right to an abortion should be included in the Constitution. In 2024, voters approved a measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. However, state law requires a measure to be approved in two consecutive even-year elections before a constitutional amendment. Abortions up to 24 weeks are legal in Nevada due to a law passed in 1990. However, the advocacy group Reproductive Freedom for All urged passage of the ballot measure due to efforts from the Trump administration to restrict abortion. “We must have state laws in place – like those proposed in Question 6 – that ensure people can access the care they need no matter what the Trump administration does,” Reproductive Freedom for All’s website reads. Transgender Minors In the same Missouri ballot measure attempting to restrict abortion access, voters will consider whether to prohibit minors from accessing gender transition surgeries and prescription or administration of cross-sex hormones. This measure follows similar efforts from states to restrict minors' access to gender transition hormones, puberty blockers and sex change operations. In 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Tennessee to prevent health care providers from administering puberty blockers or hormones to minors with the intent of “enabling the minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s biological sex.” “This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. “The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound.” Missouri voters are set to decide the ban on transgender care for minors alongside proposed abortion restrictions. Voters will decide all of these issues at the ballot box in November. The midterm election is set for Nov. 3, 2026.
