This is urgent, team,
We’re seeing a disturbing pattern emerge across the country where map-manipulating Republican lawmakers are openly defying court orders as a matter of course.
FIRST:
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Alabama’s congressional map for illegally diluting the power of Black voters, Alabama lawmakers ignored the Court’s mandate to enact a new, fair map. Instead, lawmakers approved a second map that also discriminated against Black voters.
THEN:
The Court reaffirmed its decision and allowed a special master to draw a new map with two opportunity districts where Black Alabamans can elect the candidate of their choice.
BUT NOW:
GOP lawmakers in Georgia have taken a page out of Alabama’s book. After a court ruled that Georgia’s maps violated the Voting Rights Act, Republicans voted to enact a new set of maps that continue to discriminate against Black voters.
Republicans remain undeterred in their efforts to force through manipulated maps – so we must remain undeterred in our efforts to fight for fairness. Will donate now to the NDRC?

Republicans’ refusal to comply with clear court orders is shocking. But unfortunately, it’s not unprecedented.
Instead, these politicians are carrying on a long tradition of lawmakers in Southern states defying legal mandates to protect the voting rights of minority communities.
“It is a sordid, painful, and disgraceful history – that Republicans in these Southern states are apparently comfortable with.” |
– Attorney General Eric Holder |
