H.R. 5449/S. 2885 would significantly limit partisan gerrymandering, why don't Republicans seem interested?
The Redistricting Reform Act of 2025 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/5449, https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/2885), which has been introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Sen. Alex Padilla, would require independent redistricting committees for congressional maps and ban mid-decade redraws.
It's been referred to the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee and the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee, but has not even seen any hearings or votes. It seems like voters on the right are convinced that neither party has any interest in ending gerrymandering, with the claim that Democrats may have introduced such legislation in the past but they intentionally coupled it with many other irrelevant stipulations that they knew Republicans would not approve of, yet this bill seems pretty straightforward.
My main question is in the title. Why do you voters on the right think there seems to, at a minimum, be no sense of urgency by the Republican party to pass a bill that so many of you would likely support?
