This mailer from a PAC bankrolled by the richest man in PA, ultra-maga billionaire Jeff Yass, says that the “liberal Supreme Court gerrymandered our congressional districts to help Democrats win” and includes an image of a congressional map, with two mangled districts circled in red.
This isn’t true. A GOP-controlled state legislature drew these maps in 2011. They were so gerrymandered that 13 of PA’s 18 Congressional seats went red. The current Supreme Court overturned it in 2018, declaring it a partisan gerrymander that favored Republicans.
Trump wants to reinstate the gerrymandered maps and go even further by removing all Democratic seats from PA. To do that he is working to remove the justices that struck the original map down. He’ll have his chance in 33 days when they go up for reelection.
This election is so important to the GOP that they are treating it like a Presidential election spending in the tens and soon hundreds of millions. Defend Our Courts is coordinating the Democrats' defense of this key court but we are outnumbered, outgunned, and time is running out.
We need to counter the GOP’s lies before voters begin send their mail in ballot and head to the polls. Can we count on you to rush a contribution of $50, $25, or even $5 to help keep voters one step ahead of MAGA disinformation?
