Today, FairVote’s David Daley appeared on Here & Now, a popular national public
radio program, to discuss the ongoing redistricting wars and what they mean for
democracy. Donate Today Dear John,

There’s no end in sight to the gerrymandering wars, as a mid-decade
redistricting cycle that began in Texas has spiraled across the country.
Republicans in Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio – and Democrats in California,
Illinois, Maryland, and New York –maysoon redraw maps in their party’s favor.

This national problem requires a national solution. Reintroduced in Congress
last month, theFair Representation Actis that solution. It would stop
gerrymandering and make every congressional district competitive by combining
ranked choice voting with multi-member districts.

Over the past few weeks, the Fair Representation Act – and its foundational
concept of proportional representation – have been making waves in the media.
Read on for highlights from media coverage – and ask your representative to
support the Fair Representation Acthere.

The Fair Representation Act in the news

Earlier today, FairVote’s David Daley appeared on Here & Now, a popular national
public radio program, to discuss the ongoing redistricting wars. Inthe interview
, David shared:


"We need to be looking at different models. The very best model would be a more
proportional House along the lines that Jamie Raskin and Don Beyer have
suggested in the Fair Representation Act. That would really fix the
gerrymandering problem with larger multi-member districts and ranked choice
voting....

We are down to maybe two dozen competitive seats. Really, this is no way to run
a democracy. The time is really here to be talking about a national standard."

Daley also has discussed the redistricting crisis – and need for reform –
includingtheNew York Timesand theWashington Post, and on1A,CNN,MSNBCandPBS:


Representative Don Beyer – lead sponsor of the Fair Representation Act – also
discussed the bill in the Washington Post:


"Institutional change is slow. However, I think the silver lining is that
Americans seem so upset by this gerrymandering war… So maybe now there’s a
window for anti-gerrymandering on a national basis."
