Republicans might redraw House maps in Ohio and Texas to try to protect narrow majority

Gerrymandering is one of the gravest threats to our democracy. Instead of voters choosing their representatives, gerrymandering is when representatives choose their voters. That's how those in power rig our elections and they do it openly.

Republicans narrowly won a majority in the House and now there are reports that Ohio and Texas are scheming to redistrict ahead of next year's midterms to further cement their overrepresentation.

Republicans in Ohio and Texas could unseat 4 Democrats just by redrawing lines on a map. It's undemocratic. ➪

Ohio 2024 Election Map

OHIO
GOP Share of Votes: 57%
GOP Share of Seats: 67% (+10%)

Texas 2024 Election Map

TEXAS
GOP Share of Votes: 58%
GOP Share of Seats: 66% (+8%)

If the share of seats was proportional to the popular vote, Republicans wouldn't have won a Majority.

And that's why they're scared to face voters next year.

We need to be ready to mobilize if and when Ohio and Texas propose new maps. It's not enough to organize during the election because these politicians are trying to win the election before it's even begun: that's why we're asking for your support today. ➪

Path to Progress is a no-holds-barred, youth-led multimedia organization working to advance progressive policy goals and hold politicians accountable through digestible digital content and groundbreaking policy proposals.

After the first month of Trump's second term, we became the first organization to call for his impeachment. Our petition demanding Congress begin impeachment proceedings has reached thousands of signatures. Trump's attack on birthright citizenship and subversion of Congress's powers are blatantly unconstitutional and constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. We're telling every Member of Congress: decorum can wait, but democracy can’t.

Sign the Petition: Impeach Trump!

We are the only progressive think tank led by Gen Z for Gen Z.

Path to Progress will support candidates and policies which are both viable and, more importantly, friendly to Gen Z. We will produce content and publish policy proposals that show our frustration with systemic issues while encouraging actionable steps to increase youth voter turnout and ensure that election winners are as progressive as possible.
