Yes, you read that right: More than HALF of all states are at “EXTREME RISK” of having their Congressional districts gerrymandered THIS YEAR: The For the People Act would BAN gerrymandering — This is just further reason we need to pass it into law ASAP!

Back in 2010, Republicans dumped tens of millions of dollars into operation REDMAP and tapped Karl Rove to spearhead the effort: Flip as many state legislative chambers as possible, enact restrictive voting laws, and gerrymander the maps to ensure GOP supremacy. For the most part, it worked astonishingly well for Republicans: Democrats lost nearly 1,000 state and local seats, lost the House, lost the Senate, and Donald Trump ascended to the White House. One Federal judge remarked it was as if Republicans took a scalpel and cut out large swaths of Black and brown voters “with surgical precision” in battleground states like North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Now, HALF of all states are at “EXTREME RISK” of this level of gerrymandering. Gerrymandering should be ILLEGAL: Triple your impact now to pass the For the People Act to finally put an end to gerrymandering John.
