In our democracy, voters should choose the people that represent them, not the other way around. But that’s not how it always works:
Last year, Michiganders voted overwhelmingly to replace the current broken system with fair districts.
But now Lansing Republicans are trying to cling to power by suing to overturn the will of the voters, and to keep lobbyists and Republican party leaders in charge of redistricting.
If Republicans win in the federal courts, it could stop fair legislative maps not just in Michigan, but in every state.
We can’t let this happen.
The future of our democracy depends on it.
Thank you,
