WATCH: JD Vance Expertly Lays Out GOP Case For Redistricting

While speaking with Fox News on Sunday, Vice President JD Vance provided a thorough explanation of the reasoning behind redistricting efforts in Republican-controlled states that touched on illegal immigration, Democrat-led gerrymandering and more.

The interview comes as several Republican states have either announced or are considering plans to redraw congressional maps, which could result in more than a dozen Democrat-controlled districts being drawn out. Texas is currently in the middle of a tense redistricting fight, as Republicans have advanced a map that would draw out five Democrat-controlled districts in the current map.

State House Democrats have responded by fleeing the state in order to sabotage a vote, while California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Saturday that voters will have the opportunity to vote on redistricting to “retaliate” against Texas.

Republicans, including Vice President Vance, have responded to Democrat calls for an all out redistricting fight by pointing to the fact that a number of Democrat-controlled states are already heavily gerrymandered.

“The democratic system in this country is broken because who you vote for doesn’t necessarily get reflected in who your representatives are,” the vice president told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

When asked whether he was concerned about calls from Democrats to gerrymander all states they control to the maximum, Vance noted that the majority of states with the ability to do that have already done so. “There’s just not a whole lot of juice left out of that limit. The Democrats have already gone as far as they possibly can,” the vice president said before providing examples.

“So I believe that it’s in New Jersey, Illinois, New York, California, and there’s one other Democrat state where you take those five states, you have a large number of Democrat representatives, but here’s the crazy statistic. President Trump won 43% of those five states and Democrats have something like 85% of the representatives out of those states,” he continued. “You cannot gerrymander these far left states anymore.”

Vance further noted that Republicans of old have “unilaterally disarmed” and refused to match Democrat-led gerrymandering efforts. “We have said to the Democrats, ‘if you want to rig the game in your favor in blue states, go ahead,’ we’re going to do nothing to fight back against it. That’s crazy. It makes it harder for us to pass our agenda. It makes it harder for us to win elections. And most importantly, it gives Democrats this ability to run roughshod over the country without any pushback from the American people.”

Ultimately, Vance argued that the democratic system in the United States is broken. “The democratic system in this country is broken because who you vote for doesn’t necessarily get reflected in who your representatives are. We’re just trying to rebalance the scales and frankly push back against a very unfair system created by the Democrats.”

Vance also pointed to the fact that many Democrat-controlled states are bolstered by the fact that illegal aliens are counted in the U.S. census, thus tilting the balance of power in their favor and creating unearned districts.”It’s ridiculously unfair,” he said, adding that the only way to correctly remedy the situation is to redistrict in Republican-controlled states.

In addition to redistricting efforts in Republican-controlled states, Democrats could be in danger of losing additional House seats after the Supreme Court indicated that it will be hearing another case on the merits of drawing congressional districts on the basis of race. If the court rules on the key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, it could lead to additional Democrat losses in the south, where previous court rulings have mandated the creation of majority-black districts in a number of states.
