✅ No, we couldn't find enough information regarding what Ronald Reagan might specifically say about today's fierce battles over redistricting on major authoritative news outlets. However, we did find references to Reagan's views on gerrymandering and redistricting in historical speeches, where he described partisan gerrymandering as an "anti-democratic and un-American practice," emphasizing the importance of fair redistricting and state authority in the process. For example, Reagan spoke about this in a 1987 speech at the Republican Governors Club Annual Dinner, highlighting his opposition to partisan gerrymandering and describing his experience vetoing redistricting plans as California governor.
Aside from historical quotes, current major news outlets do not seem to link Reagan's views directly to the ongoing redistricting battles in a contemporary context. Other sources discuss bipartisan agreement on preventing gerrymandering referencing Reagan’s principles, such as statements from Maryland’s governor citing Reagan, but detailed or recent major media coverage specifically framing what Reagan "might say" about today’s redistricting battles is scarce.

- Discusses bipartisan agreement on ending gerrymandering and references Reagan calling it “anti-democratic and un-American.”
2. https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/speech/remarks-republican-governors-club-annual-dinner - (Trust Score 8/10)
- Reagan in 1987 strongly criticized partisan gerrymandering and recounted his experience with redistricting as governor.
Because there is limited direct recent authoritative reporting tying Reagan explicitly to current redistricting controversies beyond citing his past statements, the claim about "what Ronald Reagan might say" today appears to rely on inference from historical remarks rather than direct contemporary news coverage.
