From Gemini:

While the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal courts cannot strike down maps based on partisan bias, it acknowledged that Congress has the authority to regulate this area under the Constitution, including passing acts like the Freedom to Vote Act.


And if you have Republican Senators that aren't up for election in 2027, now is the time to mount a campaign to build the political will to pressure them to get on board with the Freedom to Vote Act or equivalent bill ending partisan gerrymandering in 2027. It is never too early to see what sort of ball you can get rolling.
