TUPELO, Miss. — The upcoming November midterm elections present a pivotal decision for the control of Congress, as a historic redistricting battle resulted in new congressional maps across the country. For the past year, the republican party has been redrawing congressional districts in several states — Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and more — while democrats are drawing the lines in California, Utah and Virginia. According to CBN, “Republicans may have created somewhere between six and 10 additional GOP-leaning House districts heading into November. Current polling, however, shows that might not be enough to keep GOP control of the House.”
“History shows that the party in control of the White House typically loses at least one chamber of Congress in most midterm election cycles,” said Walker Wildmon, CEO of AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of the American Family Association. “This trend has only been defied a few times in modern history. This is why conservative voters cannot mistake favorable redistricting for guaranteed victories. Control of Congress will be decided by which voters are most motivated. That’s why AFA Action exists — to motivate Christians for faithful civic engagement — and why iVoterGuide, the nation’s premier Christian voting guide, remains the trusted resource for researching candidates before casting your ballot. The future of our nation can’t be left to historical trends; every citizen must get informed and vote.”
