Jeffrey Harden, a political science professor at the University of Notre Dame, said redistricting in the middle of a census cycle isn’t as common because it’s not new data, but it can be done. “I think one perspective is, why fix something that isn’t broken?

And that won’t, of course, won’t come until 2030,” Harden said.
