We see, time and again, state legislators in gerrymandered states attacking voting rights -- they're using their illegitimate power to further weaken democracy in their states. In fact, Republican state legislatures that owe their majorities to gerrymandering have created barriers to voting like implementing unnecessary voter ID laws, making it harder to register to vote, and restricting early-voting and voting by mail.
Record numbers of voters will cast their ballot by mail this year. Yet we're also seeing unprecedented attempts to obstruct voting by mail -- state legislators blocking election reforms, the U.S. Senate refusing to pass funding for the USPS, and the Supreme Court blocking changes to election rules that would expand access to the ballot in this unique time. These efforts are all geared toward the same goal: silencing voters.
Electing fair map candidates is essential to preserving and expanding voting rights. The next decade will be determined by our ability to end gerrymandering and put power back into the hands of the people. With just days left to vote, would you consider making a $15 donation to fund voter outreach in places like Wisconsin?
And if you have not cast your vote yet, I strongly urge you to vote early in person if your state allows or drop off your ballot at a secure drop box location. Please stay healthy, but don't let anyone deprive you of your most precious civil right -- the right to vote. Make sure you make your voice heard.
Together we can restore our democracy,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
