John, I'm eager to share the latest from CRC with you:

  • Don't fall for the Democrats' "solution" . . .
    . . . to gerrymandering! So-called "nonpartisan" or independent redistricting commissions are the centerpiece of House Democrats' plan to reform American elections. But CRC's Michael Watson shows that these commissions have produced electoral outcomes that are even more lopsided than partisan-drawn maps. Read the original study here.

  • The Supreme Court rejected the Left's redistricting schemes this week . . .
    . . . and that means that left-leaning organizations can't use the federal courts to fight state election maps. Instead, groups like Common Cause, and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee will have to persuade voters if they want to change the way districts are drawn. Read more about the problems with the Left's favorite redistricting ploys in Michael Watson's article in National Review, written with Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation.

  • This week's Supreme Court decisions . . . 
    . . . energized some of the Left's most active groups. CRC's Hayden Ludwig attended a demonstration held by Demand Justice--the "dark money" judicial activist group responsible for some of the Left's most radical activism. Over 25 different groups joined together to protest the high court's decision on gerrymandering and to demand the citizenship question be left off the 2020 census. Read more here.

  • Senator Cory Booker's reparations bill . . .
    . . . ties the New Jersey Senator to one of the most outspoken anti-Semites on the Left: Louis Farrakhan. CRC's Ashley Rae Goldenberg connected the dots, which led Donald Trump Jr. to tweet the story and earned coverage in the Daily Wire. Read Goldenberg's original story here.

Episode #78:

Greatest Achievement?



In this special episode: we discuss a major decision by the Supreme Court. The Court decided a pair of cases concerning “partisan gerrymandering,” holding that Congressional redistricting is an inherently political process and therefore a “nonjusticiable political question”—meaning (mostly liberal) challengers to (for now, mostly Republican-drawn) congressional maps will not be able to claim they are “too partisan” (whatever that means) in federal court. On the podcast, CRC Investigative Researcher Hayden Ludwig and I dig into my report, “The Myth of Nonpartisan Districts,” an experimental examination of just how much the current Congressional districts deviate from liberals’ supposed ideal of “proportional representation.”

As always, I welcome your thoughts on how we can better serve our mission of exposing the Left's activists and donors. E-mail me at [email protected], or call me at 202.464.2044.
