State officials beyond former President Donald Trump played major roles in the midterm redistricting race, the original article said.
The piece identified an 82-year-old Virginia senator as raising the stakes, described an Indiana consensus builder who influenced negotiations and noted a Texas enforcer who helped steer outcomes, according to the original article.
The article said those officials, among others, helped shape how districts were drawn and how the political landscape unfolded ahead of the midterm elections.
