We just got the news from the Supreme Court: they sided with the right-wing North Carolina Republicans, refusing to strike down partisan gerrymandered maps as unconstitutional.
This is a big blow for voting rights, John. But we know what we have to do now. This is a battle that moves to state courts and the ballot box.
We have to work even harder to make sure we elect Democrats up and down the ballot to ensure that maps are drawn fairly and that everyone has an equal voice in our democracy.
Republicans in North Carolina have done everything in their power to make it harder for people to register and vote. At each step along the way, they've chosen to make it more difficult for people's voices to be heard.
This should be simple: voters should be choosing their politicians, not the other way around.
